It's not a capacity issue, once this happens to you your account is locked out.

Funny you say that, these startups actually wanted me to be referred to as a cofounder even though I wasn't. They actually leveraged that title to make me sacrifice salary and work much harder than I should have (i.e. many all-nighters). When I found out funding was running out and I was only being paid enough to cover rent I had to leave.

When they stop paying you. Seriously, don't waste your time hoping for the best.

*Worked for two startups that couldn't make payroll. CEOs promised money was around the corner so I kept working. The money never came.

The don't actually delete your posts, they mark them as deleted. If the government requests your data they get to see everything, even those posts you decided to delete.

Would love to see this contract, could you post an anonymous version online somewhere?

Agreed, it's a long story but I have definitely learnt a lot and do business very differently now.

There are contracts but no money. There's nothing to retrieve.. yet. So I'm stuck waiting for them to make money or raise.

As soon as I changed my location from San Francisco back to Australia these emails almost stopped.
