Dumb question, but 3 founders and 1 developer? What other staff is there?

  I was wondering the exact same thing. They have 3 founders, only one or two of whom is actually necessary, and they're hiring consultants (the quotes led me to believe of a non-technical variety). On top of that they're not willing to pay to retain a (sounds like) good developer, and don't seem to understand how to manage a technical team at all (thinking a developer won't need a skillset because something is "done"). It sounds to me like these guys have absolutely no clue what they're doing. You said you're doing consulting in your free time and you were only in this project for the money? If this project doesn't have a 200k+ upside in less than a year, you're better off consulting if you want the money. Do your own startup, even. There's plenty of ways to create passive income without working with these clowns. You're definitely better off leaving. Find a way to make a clean break as early as possible, sell your shares back to the company (at a price that makes up for the money you lost by wasting your time with these guys), and let bygones be bygones. If anyone asks questions, you value happiness and income over misery and poverty. Most people will recognize that as a reasonable decision and respect you more for it than if you had stayed.
