Ask HN: Most of team quit my startup. What to do?

I'm the first employee at a startup that has been experiencing management issues. The two founders are often fighting each other for power. Both are micromanaging. We discuss new features, eventually prioritize, and create a sprint. Then, every couple of sprints, a new emergency happens and we switch it up to accommodate. This and general management issues have been stressing out employees, which we've all made clear.

After a lot of conflicts, the entire backend team eventually left, except myself. (A few frontend devs remain.) I'm experiencing the same issues, still. We're gearing up for a series A with maybe half a year of runway, so I feel like I should stay and help, but I often feel like I should also quit. I guess I'm looking for advice on how to either try to fix the situation, or options to leave with dignity.
