If the startup is growing and profitable, given your early arrival and importance, then you should have some significant degree of ownership. Since they have not provided that, and yet rely on your services, it would be very fair for you to abruptly cut them off, hopefully killing the business.

Here's one of the pitfalls.

You are repeatedly told that you are "in charge" of projects etc., but the decisions taken by superiors are always imposed, because they have "the vision". Even if this means adding 2/3 heavy features to be developed and changing the design system a few weeks before major releases.

Technically, they could operate with Excel spreadsheets rather than software, it would just take more time.
