Agreed. I guess you mean "worrying about family" at the end. With investment equity in place, why the cofounders and employees are not paid? How to calculate?

They must be paid and reload as owner's paid-in later if the company is running out of fund. If they don't like to follow business rules, then how can we help? Just like there is a wall, you'd like to hit it by not walking around it.
