hi! so, yeah, you were never a founder, it was a sugar title. I don't think I'd ever co with someone where there wasn't an equal balance of value and credibility. HN sometimes has an attitude of "oh, you aren't a founder? you suck" but that isn't true at all. If you do have the itch to take on founder challenges, don't let this stop you from trying again, in a domain where you are credible and with a balanced founding team. Or, stop worrying about it now, put yourself in places where you will pick up these skills from mentors, you will wake up in a few years with the skills and credibility to found a company of this magnitude.
