This is all wrong. You can only build great products with people who have enough wherewithal to exercise their personal agency. When the agency being exercised is departure you get two remainers - the zealots and the hanger-ons. You can try to roll the clock back to a nimble pivot or preserve startup but you're looking at wildly different skillsets to make that work and those people have likely just left. It's possible to pump out great things with this configuration, but only a fool would sign up for the task. Or maybe a Michael Milken who fancies himself as a Steve Jobs.
