I work at a startup where I am also a minority investor, but it is currently failing. The CEO's attitude is alienating both employees and customers. There are unpaid bills, broken promises, and potential fraud. Our financial runway is nearly depleted.
However, a key customer and several employees have expressed their confidence in me personally.
Given the company’s valuable technology and talented staff, I am exploring ways to save it. Since there seems to be confidence in my leadership, I am thinking of securing venture capital to fund a hostile takeover. Are there precedents for similar hostile takeover attempts? Am I risking an Anthony Levandowski-like situation?"
