Do startup founder(s) get more credit for the startup’s success or blame for its failure than other members of the startup (managers, technical leads etc)?
We know of founder(s) who started companies but what about the initial 5 to 50 employees who helped the startup grow.
What contributes to a startup’s success? Is it the founder(s)’ idea, their execution, their initial key hires, or just the timing of their idea(s)?
How much should we praise founder(s), recognize their successes and failures, and attribute to the startup’s growth?
