A similar situation is happening to me currently and it’s quite killing, I thought I’d share it with you.
We are 4 partners, we have created a startup a year ago. We work in electronic payment systems, I have done our whole infrastructure including the payment gateway integration and PCI certifications, etc and my best friend and college had done the Android part.
We are in a very critical situation now as he’s leaving to pursue a masters degree (studying abroad). It has been since then the worst time of my life. I have never talked to him about it and I frankly so mad at him that I just want him to leave.
I own 20% of the shares, it’s quite unfair but I really couldn’t care less. All i wanted is to make our startup work.
It might be irrelevant but I just thought I’d write it here
- mickeyM 7y agoThanks for sharing your experience - that sounds pretty bad, I hope you work it out somehow. I think the vesting schedules should be talked about more especially among starting entrepreneurs so they can prevent situations like ours. If you are comfortable sharing it - what is the reason the guy leaving the company doesn't want to negotiate something with you? Does he want to retain his full equity?
