I agree. Also I think a lot of people, especially engineers, are clueless as to why these middle aged men are throwing money at them. They'd love to see you fall if it means greater profit. I've seen founders who took a bite that was too big to chew for them. These guys wouldn't be able to do the same amazing things you do, and they want a piece of the action, and control. They are not your friends, they are not your enemies either, just faceless agents motivated by returns where as the operator of your company, you almost certainly will have conflicting interests, just be sure you are the one running the show but the tiny letters and the army of lawyers at their disposal, it's an uphill battle.
