> Very low cash flow only with no growth This is very typical in startups, where making revenue at all may be rare in many categories (social media for example), and a startup is either wildly successful or nobody uses it. Hopefully, the startup is about to be wildly successful, but it's easy to end up in a situation where some funding was raised, the product has reached a dead end, but the founders continue to "try to make it work". Whether they are doing this to "draw a salary", are earnestly trying to make it work, or a little bit of both, there isn't much legal recourse for investors if they aren't doing anything worse than not being very successful.
