What's the best way to handle this situation?

A little about me. I'm a BE CSE 2021 passout. I have 1 year of work experience as a Software Engineer at a startup right out of college. After that, a friend and I decided to build a product together. We incorporated a company, went on to look for investors, got enough funding to last a team of 3 for a year. We hired an employee, and then I quit my job to work at this company full time. It's been 2 years since. I am still single, living with my parents. Long story short, the product isn't doing well. 2 months ago, the company pivoted to services and consulting, and the good news is we just got our first client. The project is small and simple (and we are running a loss taking it), but we believe this is the first of many, and the client is very wide reaching and has lots of connections. I've been pressured by my parents and relatives to quit the company and start jobseeking again. I currently handle the entire backend development and software architecture, so definitely got the skills, but given the current job market, I think my time would be better spent working on the consulting services rather than jobseeking. I have tried multiple times explaining to my Dad and uncle that I want to concentrate on what I am currently doing, rather than looking for a job and losing what I currently have. Help! Criticism accepted, but please help me find a way to convince everyone to stop pressing me to leave the company I co-founded.
