This doesn't sound like a CEO/founder who's unable to give up control of the software and is still inserting himself into the process unnecessarily. Many of us have been in that spot and, yeah, that doesn't work too well.
This sounds entirely like a founder who still solves problems with code, but then stands back and lets his company form a team around it if it's valuable.
No inside knowledge or anything, this just doesn't sound...bad.
