I am engaged to a woman who came up with a business idea 6 months ago. She didnt have the money to get it off the ground and asked me to help her. She has crappy credit from a previous divorce. I told her no. I couldnt help her.
She suggested that we could do this business together because there was some cross over into my line of business. I told her I could see the possibility of it working, but that I would not be willing to risk my reputation and help her sell anything to my colleagues. She was offended.
She secretly went and tried to get a loan. She couldnt. Then she got lucky and got an investor. I told her I didnt believe she had an investor meeting so she told me that I could come but that I needed to act like a case study and verify how her idea would work for my area of business for the investors. She didnt tell them we were engaged.
She got her money and she gave me no equity. I became pissed. I told her that I wanted some involvement and that she would have never gotten anywhere if I wasnt there to sell it.
She made me a paid consultant. I think it was just a legal way to prevent me to get equity/ She said that it makes no sense to her because if we are married, I will get half company. Thats not true. Ive been divorced. Whatever happens before marriage is the way it is. She will probably leave me once she gets all the cash use me and then im left with nothing.
Im not happy, obviously, and Ive told her so.
Recently I introduced her to a guy who is a big wig in my circles. She presented the business to him (with her business partner/inveostr) and he loved it. He was so excited he wanted to invest. He has money. I have none.
So he started to volunteer his time to help her get a big contract and has asked for equity over 2 years if he secures contracts. They are currently writing legal documents to allow for this.
I INTRODUCED THEM AND I GET NOTHING!
I recently found out that they are no longer going to pay me because this guy is providing all this info to them and isnt getting paid.
I said this is bullshit. I told her if she doesnt give me equity or if we break up I will make sure he pulls out of her company and she goes nowhere.
I told her that the ONLY reason she is anywhere is because of me and she is guaranteed to fail in 6 months if she doesnt have me. I have the connections and the respect in my industry. She has no clue what shes doing.
Today she tells me that her business partner/investor would prefer I dont attend any other business meetings because hes worried about ownership issues because I sent an email (copying everyone) and called her my wife. I guess she corrected this to him - and let them know we arent married because we live in a common law marriage state.
I told her thats insane. I used the term wife to make it easier for the possible contact to like her . since I was REFERRING HIM TO HER!
So now I get no equity. (She says she will give me 3 percent equity if I want it but I must work 30 hours a month per her business partner) I AM HER FIANCE . I CONNECTED HER! AND I NEED TO BEG FOR 3 PERCENT OF THIS!
I am no longer being paid monthly and Im not being invited to business meetings.
I AM ANGRY. What DO I DO???
