Yes, literally. Employees are not essential the way a founder is. That is obvious.

  No, not literally. The founder did not cut himself on the keyboard.

    Blood = health. There's no question running a startup often takes a toll on your health to some extent.

      So, you're saying that blood is a metaphor for health? Is that what you're saying? "Literally" means the opposite of "metaphorically".
