If I ask him those questions, and he becomes offended at the fact, I think that will be a red flag. He seems to think that anything he says can't be questioned.

If I ask him those questions, and he becomes offended at the fact, I think that will be a red flag. He seems to think that anything he says can't be questioned...going back to earlier, how he says he doesn't want to argue to get his point across when I asked him about what his role would be.
He said the way I asked it made him offended.
My view is that I touched on one of his weaknesses and it made him insecure about his position in the business.
- yishanl 10y agoI feel for you. Don't do it. Money brings out the worst in people. Arguing is healthy. Just depends on how it comes & what it's over. Obviously, if your relationship deteriorates to the point that you are arguing for little value then that's bad - I do think arguing early is better than arguing late. It'll be insightful for you and him, to be honest. You'll learn a little more about yourself and a lot more about him in how the argument progresses and more importantly, how it ends. All non-tech founders are insecure about their position in the business. I think any competent non-tech founder should be insecure about their position imo, if there is a component of technology to the business. I was too, so I just kept working and supporting in as many ways as I could think of. Thankfully, our product was online-to-offline, so there was plenty of work to be done. But don't do it.

Such a red flag. Even if he is a great ... whatever this attitude is a big red flag. You won't be able to work this guy.
