Comment on Cofounder is now calling himself a founder post acquisition

Comments

People like this piss me off - and I agree it diminishes the other founder(s?) positions if not technically then at least in perception.

I know you should probably talk to him/her, but if they are this arrogant you are likely only to get the words they think you want to hear, and no action. Worst case, they realise that you've rumbled them, and they go all out to raise their profile at the expense of yours.

If I were in your shoes I'd copy the tactic. Call yourself the founder too. DON'T make things up, but state the genuine claims as to what your contribution is/was to the founding of the company.

This way you let other people make their minds up. As long as you can support your contribution claims, then that's what will eventually win through.
