Actually, if you look at the situation, it was the very nature of having a Founder involved. If there were no Founders or other powerful people, then that wife's all edged bullshit never would have taken off.
I don't think so; operational/management structure and ownership structure don't have to interact the way they did here. OTOH, without formal rules and control mechanism to assure that those rules are respected, the ownership structure is naturally going to impact the operational/management structure, which will make holarchy unlikely with any ownership structure (other than ownership through an identical fractal network of teams as the intended operational structure.)

Holacracy is not Bullshit.
In other words, holacracy as a concept is incompatible with a startup's typical ownership structure?
