Title: I designed and built a product and put together a kick ass engineering team of 4 people. My business partners handle sales and put the majority of the cash in, leaving me with stake of around 30%. Four weeks away from signing a multimillion contract, my co-founders issued a cash call, claiming I am subject to a compulsory share transfer clause. They give the company a premoney valuation of zero, and as a defaulting shareholder I should get 50‰ of fair value... Aka here&#x27;s &quot;140k leave now, and you have no choice about it&quot;. I managed to convince a lawyer to help, and she&#x27;s willing to do it without charge - after going through the shareholders agreement it&#x27;s pretty clear that their argument doesn&#x27;t hold up. But... How to handle this situation? Especially going forward with regard to audits etc. as I no longer trust these guys at all
