Background:
I’m technical, both of my cofounders are not. I wrote 100% of the app / and marketing code. The plan was for me to finish the product and have them sell it. I finished the product months ago and they’ve only managed a handful of sales (all but 2 of the sales I closed). We have an LLC formed, but I haven’t signed anything.
Neither cofounder will put more time in the company while I’m left doing all of the programming and marketing and sales. I’m planning on quitting.
My question:
Can I start a similar app and compete? I would write all the code from scratch and wouldn’t take a single line of code from the old project. Is this legal? I have good relationships with several of our customers and they would probably follow me to a new company. Is this an issue?
I’m planning on talking to a lawyer as well, I just wanted some additional input first. Thanks for your help.
