it's just a job, say that you want to leave, maybe the "founder" will try to bring you closer to the company, by making you founder also, if you want, of course, otherwise jus get out. if the products and work you guys did is making money or making the founder "more successful", he's the one who is getting the most benefits, why should you bow to him/her? just say you want to quit and not burn bridges, and even if you do, whatever... people work because of money and success, you gave them both, so you can leave without any concerns and you better leave, so maybe you can also get both.
