I have no idea what the correct answer is, but as this is one of those questions that matters, OP probably needs proper proper advice from someone you trust in the know.

If, for whatever reason, getting proper advice is not something you can get, this is perhaps the best of the info, as Siegel's Bio says https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=siegel:

Thanks, T2_t2.

I certainly understand the OP's concern about being fleeced here. It is a very fair and understandable concern. But the founders' claim that investors are being scared away could be very real.

It's a delicate balancing act because while the OP doesn't want to get taken advantage of, I'm sure he also doesn't want to engineer a situation where the company can't get funding and his shares become worthless.
