we have a contract. this new amendment has come out of nowhere. "B" is a joke, just some guys wanting to go around and saying they have a startup. there is an agreement between us "AB interactive"and between us as a group with "C" signed, but they are claiming a new agreement was made somewhere, i told them yesterday that would not hold. i am ready to walk away from this right now and have. "C" holds no value, even if it gets the funding, "B" holds no value and i am quitting, after a year of stress and seeing no lessons learned by my small team. They are actually mad at me for being VERY FIRM with "B" about this amendment and this amended agreement. i am in another city now dealing with a very sick family member with connective tissue disease, and they are pulling this crap. I wonder how many other startup companies have dwelt with this
When you are bootstrapped, how to find a good lawyer? my last startup had all the whistles and bells. it went from being just me and my partner in my kitchen to a useless staff of 40. we had wall street big wigs and a lawyer with company equity who turned out to be a dud by the way. and that company went under due to waste, greed, etc, laziness,
it seems the new team brought in, just spent 2 years trying to push us out, which we were fine with-if they could grow the company, but these people could not even tell me what files we keep the contracts in, who were the interns and staff, and what is the internet and why should they care. i may leave this start up world, because now broke, and restarting, i am acting as our own attorney, (i am not an attorney) and trying not to get screwed until we get funding. but looking at shit like this amendment- just makes me disgusted with the whole thing.
