I’m the CEO/founder of a zombie startup. We’ve taken significant funding. We break even every month. Growth is flat. Scale is in the millions. I have lost passion for our business and I don’t believe in what we are doing anymore. I dislike going to work. I’ve started disliking even people I work with. We have not managed to sell for enough to return all investor money. Our team is specialized in what we do so a successful pivot is extremely unlikely. I can’t find anyone to replace me fast enough. I can’t just leave suddenly unless I want to f over all our shareholders. I do not want to do that. (I recognize staying in this state is f’ing over in a different way)
