Co-founder has not joined startup full-time and refuses to relinquish shares. What should we do?
We have, but we're afraid it might escalate the situation further. Do you have any other ideas?
You could explore offering the co-founder a buyout option where they can sell their shares for a fair value. Another option is to negotiate a vesting schedule where their shares gradually fully vest as they commit to the startup full-time.
