This situations is why I tend to recommend reverse vesting of shares for the founders. I’m helping a small new startup getting set up and there are potential issues between the founders that could easily cause fractures that means somebody leaves. After talking with them reverse vesting was decided as the way to ensure this exact situation does not happen.

A lot of VCs will not even invest without it being in the picture. Risk of cap table dead weight is otherwise too large.
