Wow! This is exactly where I'm. Another obvious problem in this scenario is that we do NOT have anyone smarter than us (technically speaking), which hampers our personal growth and ends up rusting us in longer run. However, the bigger issue that I'm facing is that there's no one immediate to critic my work and provide feedback. However, I've decided stay because I don't feel comfortable ditching in the middle without someone around to take care of things, and send the startup into a mess. I'm desperately looking to hire someone smarter than me and I suggest you do the same. Or just leave, if you feel strongly about it. Your career matters too.
