Not all that surprising, although I'm sure it might come as a shock to some folks who have less startup experience (no disrespect intended). In the previous startup I joined, I asked the founder and then-CEO when it was expected they would hire a more seasoned CEO (in a polite) way. I wanted to see what their plans were, if they had thought of this yet, and if the question would offend them. People who start companies aren't usually great at running them (once things begin to achieve a regular cadence) and people who run companies aren't usually all that great at starting them.
