I had an extremely similar experience, but I do have a beef with the founders for not compensating me fairly with respect to the work I did in helping them create something they could eventually sell to a large company. [Before anybody throws shade, the site was developed by a Flash dev, a Java team for webdev, and me building the backend and running things as a solo sysadmin.]

None of these people are your friends, get as much as you can.

That doesn't have to be true, there are many decent and honorable people that decide to start companies. But I do certainly think you need to walk away as soon as you feel a founder doesn't recognize or value you or your contributions

My experience does have to be true, but sure, not everybody has to be like this. They often are, though.
