Very interesting question. Obviously a different situation, but I was also interested in this HN story today:

There is a never-ending flow of startup advice dealing with all sorts of business and technical hurdles we face. But some of these interpersonal issues are just as (if not more) impactful to the success of a good company.

I've seen situations like this one deteriorate into ousting and proxy battles and public opinion campaigns. And we all see it in the news from time to time.

Maybe this post is way lagged and it's from either M. Arrington or J. Calacanis?!

Is there a need for a startup support network for dealing with more personal issues?

There are a few articles touching on this, but they're more about individuals coming forward in these situations: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/24/nyregion/24bigcity.html http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qn4182/is_20010319/ai_... http://www.ajc.com/business/entrepreneur-group-fights-loneli...


Have professional experience with dissolving 1. failed (general) partnerships 2. with profitable businesses where 3. the other guy is clearly nuts?


Ahhhhh... I wish I could answer this.
