I think my startup is going to fail, what should I do?
walesmd: It appears to me that you brought in 2 friends for the sake of bringing in 2 friends, not because you needed them.One guy's job is to handle funding, of which he has yet to acquire any, and the other guy's is to handle marketing and getting users. This really sounds like the duties of one dedicate individual with a background in business and/or marketing - not sure what your friend's backgrounds are.I've been in this situation before and it comes down to a simple decision: do you want them around any more?If so, sit them down and tell them they need to start pulling their weight. Maybe they lack direction and need you to provide that for them (which is worrisome, since one of these guys is supposed to be fulfilling the CEO role at this point).If you want them gone, draft up some paperwork stating that they are bowing out, they want nothing to do with the company, and you don't owe them anything for ever and ever amen.Just reading your situation here, it sounds as if the latter is your best option. You are basically doing all of the work yourself it seems and dragging 2 friends along with you. Add another hour to your schedule each night for a week and you could complete all of the work they've done the past 8 months or hire people freelance to take care of some of that for you.
