An 'Investor' Destroyed My Startup

I question whether or not you have actual, valid VC/PE experience if you signed over 50% of your company (at seed stage, with other investors potentially available) without having that equity actually paid for.

Sorry for the tough situation, but this is your fault; the investor didn't destroy your company - you did.

I take fault for letting a bad actor in, which is why I’m sharing my case with everyone.

Understood, but you shouldn't blame the Investor - you failed to do proper due diligence and also accepted poor terms when there were multiple, other investors potentially willing to fund the company. You shouldn't blame the Investor

Keep toughing it out, hope you get this fixed somehow in your favour. It’s not easy sharing something like this and admitting you made a mistake. The good thing is you won’t make it again.
