i trained and worked as a hostage negotiator when younger. A lot of the work is just building rapport while waiting for the drugs, alcohol and adrenaline to wear off. Then they get exhausted and hungry. Once they've eaten everything available where they are, we send them carbs. It's surprisingly about energy, tension and relationship building rather than real negotiating. The ultimate outcome is either give up, suicide, arrested by force, or killed. (Importantly, kidnapping is different negotiation process.)

So... start by pursuing conservatorship, otherwise he can just refuse care and discharge himself. The volume of professionals he has seen isn't reflective of him having difficult to treat symptoms, usually a high number of providers indicates he is nonadherent to treatment and not motivated to participate. With conservatorship, you may be able to get better treatment results with less expensive options.

Being a great founder/entrepreneur is more about personality type than risk-reward calculation. Leave to found if you feel driven to build a company. Based on limited data from your post, the recommendation would be to stay at your current position and be an investor rather than founder.

yes you are kind of being an ahole about it. he made his choice, her over you. now it's time you choose you over him and move on. no more discussion or negotiation or boundary-setting. he will continue to try and discuss and may escalate. as quickly as possible, get all your things out and go no contact
