To me, it's a very, very bad sign if a co-founder leaves before there is a product. The founders are supposed to be the biggest believers, and the biggest champions, devoting themselves to a cause. If THEY can't believe in the company, it's not a good sign. Their vision and leadership is integral to keeping a company moving towards a goal. It's not a mark of death (it could be a good thing, if there is conflict, for example), but overall I'd say it's not a good omen of how things are going at the moment.

There is clearly insufficient information to reasonably declare it a sign of anything meaningful[1]. 1. https://templatetraining.princeton.edu/sites/training/files/the_last_question_-_issac_asimov.pdf https://templatetraining.princeton.edu/sites/training/files/...
