Just so I'm clear this is what I understand of the situation:

You convinced a guy to reneg on a contract he had signed to join your company.

You convinced him by telling him what a great opportunity your company could offer him.

A few days later you let him go because you couldn't sustain him with work.

Am I missing something?

No, nothing missing. Except that the knowledge that we couldn't sustain his work was not available when we made the offer.

That is life. That is risk. That is startups.

If you want to do something great, risk is a necessary condition, because everything ordinary could be done by just hard work and no risk..
