It seems fair to assign a lot of blame to the person that told you to do it and paid for you to do it as the owner of a good chunk of it.

You don't think that should have any blame at all?

The 'C' in CEO used to stand for something.

It certainly isn't "takes all the blame no matter what happens".

Especially when they're up against the people that own the company!

They don't own the company though. If you're raising 10 million on a 100 million dollar valuation, there's no way that VCs own the majority. There really is no reason to listen to anything they say.
