Just remember that doing a startup is risky and all of you took that risk - you, your cofounder, your investors and your employees. Sometimes, risk pays off, but most of the time, it does not.

Playing the guilt game just makes is an emotional blackmail and you need to learn to recognize it as such. You do not have to all-in in something you do not see a good chance of success. Knowing when you fold and walk away from the table is an equally important skill.

This is the first time I encounter that. The more I think about it, by "you have to all-in in something even if the company runs out money" standard, I suspect even majority of unicorn founder won't start the company in the first place.
