good question, david - that you brought up about “co-founders” and the founder hierarchy; i personally hate this bs

lol, this situation can be avoided if you - the founder, have this anti-cofounder mentality…

hire key people, or give equity stake away - or something along those lines…but don’t make “co-founders”

I’m not sure having an anti-co-founder mentality is the way to go. If you really want to be the decision maker in your company, I think you should achieve that by making convincing arguments and earning the respect of your teammates.

but “convincing arguments” and ‘earning respect’ are not exactly convincing arguments in a court of law…

just in case, push comes to shove
