I dont have anything against bootstrapped companies. The current business model is human resource intensive. VC funding is a necessity if we have to grow fast and stay ahead of the competition.
More than guilt, I feel helpless and sad. I am sad that something I helped created is not going as I hoped it would. I feel like I should stay and fix it. But when I think about it practically I know the odds of that are pretty slim. That is why I'm struggling to make a decision.
- siegel 9y agoIt's good that you feel that way. You take pride in your work and that invaluable. But you are not facing a technological problem you do not know how to solve. You are facing a business problem that is largely out of your control. Do yourself a favor and at least look at the other options out there. You are not committing to leaving. Just exploring. Having a concrete offer (or offers) to compare against your current experience might reframe your perspective.

- prthkms 9y agoThat is good advice. I have not put much thought yet as to what I'll do after.
