I actually had the same thoughts. I'm surprised he's being so transparent about this. I feel for the employees at this company -- just because a company is profitable, doesn't mean that employees are being paid fairly/market rate.
I wouldn't be surprised if the founder tries to sell the company in the new few years a discount of the current valuation. With 45% ownership, that's a very large chunk of change.
