I've been there. It sounds like there's enough red flags to indicate the company won't survive. Here's the way to approach this and what you can control/do: 1.

I've been there. It sounds like there's enough red flags to indicate the company won't survive. Here's the way to approach this and what you can control/do: 1. First and foremost, have the mindset of "Even if this company fails, I want to come out the other side with better skills and new, positive relationships." 2. For the skill part, pick something you want to get better at and start doing it for the benefit of this company. Maybe its an in-demand/buzzwordy engineering skill (AI, the JS framework de-jour, etc.). Maybe its UX. Maybe even growth or sales. Ask permission if you want, but do it regardless. If you can, spend some of the "bunch of money" they raised (eg for online training, to attend a useful conference, or for some premium services). 3. For the relationship part, start doing one-on-one's with your team members. It helps if you're their manager or at least senior but not required. Make sure they know its confidential. Ask meaty questions ("how happy are you?", "what would you change?", etc.). Share your answers back with them. When appropriate, let upper management know the general feelings (just don't out people). 4. Do stuff with co-workers after hours or on weekends if you can. You'd be surprised how much teammates can bond over shared dissatisfaction with a manager. Anyway, that's what I would do. Of course, you should definitely also start looking for another job. You can't do the above forever and stay sane.
