| Suing would only make sense if the dollar value is very high. |

| It happens all the time, I have seen it in NYC. Usually its an early stage thing, cofounder leaves after 1 year etc. Much harder to do with a complicated cap table. Investors I could name even suggest it |

| At a normally-papered startup? Yes. No. |

| ▲ | tptacek 2 days ago | parent [-] | | I think we're saying the same thing --- that none of this matters, just walk away with the vested shares and be a friend to the company. Diluting his founder shares in subsequent rounds is going to be a nonevent, and diluting him to zero in an acquisition --- unless it's a seller's market or a bidding war --- may be as well. It's just not worth worrying about; I think the only real question here might be "do I take a buyout if offered", and this person is nowhere near that yet. | | |
