I’m COO of a FinTech, we´re 2 partners and our product has a lot of potential. My partner is the CEO and has the biggest % of shares in our company. My partner doesn’t like Angel Investors or VCs, we need money in order to continue, what can I do?

As the CEO it's his job and his responsibility. You should focus on your CTO responsibilities. Either the CEO exercises good judgement and your startup will thrive or he'll make poor decisions and the startup will die (or flounder) regardless.

The CEO is going make some choices you disagree with, but that's what you signed up for as minority stakeholder.

Most Venture Capitalists and Angel Investors are basically employee turned investors they haven't had a run in this.It is better to take backing rather than funding.Backing means support of an experienced entrepreneur in that area

I have a full-time job, but spend nearly 100% of company-time working on my startup. My startup was covered by Ad Age, which my boss receives. He was in a meeting when the article hit, so I went into his email and deleted it.

I am a sole non-technical female founder. I could be shitting rainbows and unicorns out my ass (which I do, daily) and investors still won’t touch me with a stick. I know for a fact if I were two dudes I’d be fully funded by now.

I am a woman CEO and hooked up with a guy the first night we met- he wants to join my company but I just can’t get over the way we met.

Have worked for 4 startups that all crashed and burned for unrelated reasons not having to do with me. I now consult for cash only, and I can’t imagine working as an employee again. I’m happier and richer. Am I alone?
