Ive had my fair share of red flags pop up through out my start-up days in which I should have looked into more, but Im always amazed at how I still seem to miss obvious ones that I should have addressed.
Let me know if this sounds like a red flag. So the guy I have been working with also has a consulting firm. Well the consulting firm just landed a big contract and he is now taking a lot of time doing that, which he has been upfront with me about. Well yesterday I put together a presentation for the project we are working on, and he went back and changed it to all about his consulting firm, which he has now broadened into a full IT company. The project we are working on has basically just become a feature that he added to his IT company, but he is using things that myself and others who started this project created for his "other" company. I asked him why this was and he said it would help sell the product we are creating by bundling with his company, but he just seems to be using our resources to expand his other company.
How would you handle this situation?
