I can't comment on the situation, but I think throwing the towel as a CEO is the wrong decision. Just because you don't have an upcoming round, your duty as a CEO is to the company in any condition that it's in, come hell or or high water. I would even argue that a CEO is almost married to the company.
Throwing in the towel when the going gets tough seems like a spineless move.
- damoncali 16y agoClearly there has to be some point at which the CEO calls it quits. Having a death-warrant placed on your funding seems like it might be one of those times - again, I'd love to hear from someone who has been there.
- redthrowaway 16y agoAs founder and CEO, the point at which you call it quits should be the point at which the company officially declares bankruptcy. That's your duty as CEO.
- damoncali 16y agoIs it? I thought it was to maximize the value to your shareholders.
- redthrowaway 16y agoAnd when it becomes clear that that's no longer a viable option, your job is to take care of bankruptcy, etc. You don't just jump ship.
