  1 of the co-founders had access to an unlimited pool of personal capital (at least until personal issues curtailed that). The other had an idea. Make sure you are the co-founder with the sustainable advantage

      That too.... but more of an object lesson that as the needs of the company change, the board/your co-founders will constantly re-evaluate whether you are still adding value.
