These periods of time can leave a founder very vulnerable in the future. I don’t know 100% that this is true in all 50 states (if any lawyers read this please put notes in comments section) but I’m pretty darn sure that this is statuary law in California. That’s the difference between a founder and a non-founder.

I lived through the time when working in my first job in Ann Arbor Michigan we had to get out a map to find out that San Jose was not only in Puerto Rico but there was a city with that same name in California. The founders were simply wrong about their assumptions about customer needs. Founders Need to Run the Company Longer.
