Nightmare Startup, or Bad Comms
I am age 20.
I have three other cofounders. One is my best friend from childhood. The other two are in their 50s, industry veterans, former C-Suite. But in my opinion these two “veterans” are just grossly incompetent.
For starters. They have forced me and my younger cofounder into an employee-boss relationship. And refuse to take our product feedback. They have built an out of scope, vibe-coded nightmare, that is market misaligned. Any attempt to improve or implement my product vision is met by harsh resistance, gaslighting, belittling. We wind up circling back to my ideas once they realize I’m right (the iteration cycle is much slower than just trusting me).
Do I stick it out, and hope they raise. Can I steer things in the right direction once we have budget.
