I'm not suggesting you stay. Rather that you might be experiencing one of the hard times that often comes with running a business. If you have no clear direction, why do you have 15 people? Cutting staff is one of the hard times of running a business. Cutting staff increases runway. That's just gravity. Some other remarks: + If the investors are asking for their money back, then your investors are a poor fit to your business's needs. + The difficulty of working with your cofounder are in part because you are experiencing a hard time in the life-cycle of a business. They are also because your cofounder is experiencing a hard time in the life-cycle of a business. All the petty baggage that's built up over the years is bubbling to the top in both of you. My best advice is to try to do the right by people. The only way to know what that actually is is to ask. Asking and trying to do right by others is also doing right by yourself. Maybe it works out. Maybe it doesn't. This is probably not your only rodeo. Good luck.
