Hypothetical question

I've been trying to resolve this on my own but I'm stuck.

angel investor wants board seat. I've been dealing with this for about 6 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have already tried to resolve this directly but did not get a clear answer.

What's the typical outcome in situations like this?

Illustrative response

I mean have you tried reaching out to your state's attorney general? They sometimes have free resources or mediation services sadly.

Illustrative response

Just want to point out — the statute of limitations might be a factor here. In some states it's as short as 1-2 years. Don't sit on this too long sadly.
