Something here doesn't add up, and in general, this doesn't pass my smell test. How does this part work? "This person has the most equity in the company." "Our company is seed funded and have beta launched. Idea/direction wise it's going quite well." It sounds, based on what you have said, that the company is succeeding and this person is driving that success. Is it possible that the equity arrangement isn't adequate to retain people through challenges? Do you have specific examples, something obvious, where this person is damaging the company? Is it possible that other people are overly sensitive, or perhaps their egos are creating the conflict? It sounds like you are gathering support to validate your decision to leave. If you want to leave, go ahead, but own that decision and don't blame someone else for pushing you out. Alternatively, push back, create the environment you desire.
