From what you say both of you are founders. It sounds weird to me that the other founder wants to officially name a founder somebody joining now (I presume you are in it for a few months) but is refusing to call you a founder.. The reason you mentioned sounds like excuse - if this other exec would have issues acknowledging your position then to me it would rise solid red flag.
I find it difficult to understand why would the other founder take a risk of potentially breaking your relationship (or if your relationship is stronger than that then it would probably leave a scar).
- papparaziz 6y agoThanks for the validation! that's precisely how i feel. I have been with the company for almost two years and it was a simple google form MVP when I joined to build it out into an actual product. The founder says he hired me as a product manager so from his perspective I was just doing my job (with lower salary and no equity becuase we just formed the cap table this week). The chairman of the board resonated with his sentiments because he also said the incoming exec should see me as a "peer"
