The startup is effectively doomed at this point. It's almost impossible to recover from

> We get accepted and he calls me on to a meeting with the other founder just 2 days ago and essentially tells me that in order for him to quit google and be fully committed to our company he thought he deserved more equity so that he could feel like he’s valued here. CEO and COO proceeded to tell me that at that point i was less valuable than them and how my skills and expertise where subpar to theirs so I didn’t deserve the equity I had.

Basically, my advice is to register trademarks, domain names and incorporate the company with the same name, and try to get everyone who is on your side to quit.

It's not sabotage, at this point it's certain the startup will fail. You are just making a failed company fail in a week instead of maybe 6 months.

Terrible advice.

Not a lawyer here but get counsel and do not do anything to harm the other company harming you.
