I'm glad it was explained what happened and that startup.co may be getting a lot of these jobs back but it's unacceptable for a founder to explain that they didn't tell anyone about this because they had HOPED fund raising would work.

In my opinion you should talk to your employees around 6 months left. Just an open and honest talk about 6 months left of runway, here's what I'm doing about it, etc. Then after that, until you gain more than 6 months of runway, you keep employees constantly updated. Yes you risk people jumping ship but many appreciate the honesty and it will help them face the worst case scenario versus not being prepared at all.
