Remember two things:

Investors invest in a vision and people/teams. You're an employee, not the funded team. You may feel you're more than a wage taker, do the investors agree you are not a fungible coder?

Development isn't that hard. Hard CS gets done in environments that are not about pushing to market, that's commercial coding, mainly doing not hard stuff in a new environment. What's hard is linking everything, code, customers, vision, offline... The code is the essential but not that hard bit. Plus, are you blinkered to your contribution so much you cannot observe the vision. Just a coder doing the predictive, doable part where elsewhere chaos needs to be lived in.

Ask yourself these questions.
