And if the departing founder has a huge chunk of equity, it is unlikely that the company will find many sophisticated angels or VC’s interested in investing. You need to make sure that any IP created by outside developers (i.e., non-founders) is assigned to the company. and start negotiating with them. Many thanks, Scott.
