问HN:我应该离开我共同创办的公司吗?

我是一个长期使用HackerNews的用户,但出于明显的原因,我在一个临时账户上发帖。 我现在正处于一个困难的十字路口,希望能得到外界的看法。 我共同创办了一家公司,现在的收入已经达到数百万(有潜力实现高八位数到低九位数的退出)。我们筹集的外部资金非常少,并且没有独立的董事会——公司高层只有我和我的联合创始人。 面临的挑战是:我和我的联合创始人现在朝着完全不同的方向发展。他们在关键决策上逐渐掌控,正在将公司引向我根本不同意的方向。我尝试去影响局势,但显然我已经无法真正决定公司的未来。 更糟糕的是,我真心相信我们现在的道路会把公司拖入困境。 我考虑过退出并出售我的股份——即使是以折扣价——因为如果情况不改变,我认为我们最终会失败。但想到要离开我曾参与建立的事业,这让我感到非常痛苦。 有没有人经历过类似的事情?你是如何决定何时该离开——即使这意味着要承受损失——与继续留下来为不同的结果而奋斗之间的选择?

Longtime HackerNews user, but for obvious reasons doing from a throwaway account.<p>I&#x27;m at a difficult crossroads and looking for outside perspective.<p>I co-founded a company that’s now doing millions in revenue (with potential for a high 8 figure to low 9 figure exit). We’ve raised very little outside capital and there’s no independent board — it’s just me and my co-founder at the top.<p>The challenge is: my co-founder and I are now headed in completely different directions. They’ve taken increasing control over key decisions and are steering the company in a direction I fundamentally disagree with. I’ve tried to influence things, but it&#x27;s become clear that I no longer have real say in where this is going.<p>Worse, I genuinely believe the path we’re on will run the company into the ground.<p>I’ve been considering walking away and selling my stake — even at a discount — because if things don’t change, I think we’re going to fail anyway. But it’s incredibly painful to think about leaving something I helped build.<p>Has anyone faced something like this? How do you decide when it’s time to walk away — even if it means taking a hit — versus staying and continuing to fight for a different outcome?
