> I feel in a huge lose lose situation. Either I take the offer and the shares end up being worth more and I will have left money on the table or I don't take the offer and could end up with nothing. It's also possible that you could take the money that's being offered today, and the company goes out of business tomorrow. In that case, you'd have won big. If it were me, I'd be happy to take the sure money rather betting on the future of a startup. The odds of a startup becoming a unicorn are very small. Do you think your ex-partner has unique talents that would guarantee her success? What if a well-funded competitor entered the space?
