Dear SaaStr: How Do You Draw The Line Between Founder and First Employee? I’d suggest if you’re not sure where to draw the line … maybe don’t. It should be obvious. Founders are “there” before there is anything. Before a name. Before a product idea, usually. Before a URL, a line of code. Anything. And they take 100.0000% of the risk. And have $0.00 in salary.
