Feel free to reach out to me. I’m a bit jaded from seven years of early stage startups, and from what you posted here, it sounds like you contributed a lot and expect recognition. Don’t. If you’re not a founder or you didn’t negotiate a huge stake of equity, you need to look out for yourself. If your lead is liked by the founder, it won’t matter if you’re right, and you’ll be painted as a bitter employee. The flip side is that you could actually already be that bitter employee, in which case being right also doesn’t help :/ Edit: if you do have a good relationship with your founder(s) follow the advice given by others :)
