Some of us did all this and more, the investor decided he would do everything in this power (and money) to force the company into a bankruptcy hoping to pick it up for pennies. Didn’t quite work out that way. It’s a brutal battle that you have to have the stomach for. Personally, after going through this experience, I would tell everyone to bootstrap a business, scale back, grow slowly and when you don’t need investors, then look at potentially bringing them in. Do it very, very carefully. There are a lot of wolves in sheep’s clothing out there. Friends today, means nothing when greed become the lead driver. The company means nothing to them, it’s 100% greed and control.
