With the limited information we have available, this advice is, at best, extremely dangerous. We don't know:
- the cap table.
- the depressed founder's role in the company.
- the make up of the rest of the team.
- the articles of incorporation.
Without this information, there is no way that you can know if a hard sell, like you propose, will backfire.
Business decisions, particularly those involving major personal losses and ensuing mental illness, never happen in a vacuum. Advising a hard sell is extremely irresponsible.
