Usually inexperienced founders err too much on the side of paranoia. About keeping their idea secret for example. But they err too much in the other direction when hiring executive teams. "C-suite executives" can be really good at tricking you.

Can they 'force you out' if you + other founders hold the majority of the shares? No, right? We're talking about companies in which stage? Series C? D?

The answer is “it’s complicated.” Whether they can force you out or not depends on the particulars of the funding documents you’ve signed. “Number of shares” is almost certainly a naive oversimplification as various classes of shares have rights that interact in subtle ways.

1/2 As a founder, my passion is to solve customer's problem. I don't think anyone hired from outside can do that nearly as well as I can. I do recognize that my statement may indicate Dunning-Kruger effect.

2/2 Only the folks who took the idea from napkin to powerpoint to real product can take the company to its potential. Investors should coach and guide such founders instead of replacing from outside.
