When is it fair to quit a sinking startup?
2 by sjohns21 | 5 comments on Hacker News.
I joined a seed stage startup 2 years ago. We've made many pivots and have had inconsistent growth. 6 months ago, the technical cofounder left, promoting me into the technical lead. We have 6 months of runway left, and I'm considering leaving now. Would it be fair to do so? To leave this project in this final lap feels selfish in one way. In another, I feel that I've given this startup a respectable employee stint. Thoughts?
