You're talking about sunk costs. There's nothing you can do about that now. Focus on the future. Think about your future time and energy.

More often than not, I think that's good advice for darned near everything. I'd say take a fresh look and weigh your options. If you didn't have a job right now is this the one you'd take? If not then stop! Because that's what you're doing every morning, you're taking this job for no better reason than you took it yesterday and the day before that.
Reassess what's important to you and go for it. You need to ensure that your own personal needs are taken care of first before others, and if that means leaving the startup behind, then so be it.
