Respect is at the center of this issue. If you feel you have been disrespected (knowingly or unknowingly), you need to bring that up. At the same time, if you have lost respect, you need to communicate that to the other co-founders. I wrote a post about communication that talks about this in detail - read here: http://www.pranavpiyush.com/communication-for-startup-co-founders/ http://www.pranavpiyush.com/communication-for-startup-co-fou... Either way, communicate! Put it all out there. If, even then, things don't seem like working out (i.e. the other 2 don't see a problem that needs solving), then leave. As for what you do next, don't start a business for the sake of starting a business. Do it if you have a vision for what the world should look like. If you believe in the vision strongly enough, nothing can get in the way of you building the product/company to fulfill it. If not, don't fret. Working for a corporation is not the end of the world. Find a place where you will learn something. There's a nice post by Garry Tan about learning vs. earning.
