How I feel quitting my own startup
I left the startup I co-founded 4+ years ago. The entire process was an emotional roller-coaster.<p>My co-founders (and business partners), who are the majority shareholder, made it abundantly clear that the company was 'theirs'. They made decisions behind my back although I am the only founder working full time on the company. I felt alienated, undervalued, and frankly quite miserable for a while.<p>At some point, when this behavioral pattern started affecting other team members and I realized I had nothing left to do, it was time for me to move on.<p>I tried to write down how I felt, keeping it politically correct.
