Core Truth
The founder is always the constraint. Not intentionally — it's structural. You built the company. You know everything. Decisions flow through you. This works until it doesn't.
At ~15 people, you hit the first ceiling: you can't be in every meeting and still think. At ~50 people, the second: your style starts creating culture problems. At ~150 people, the third: you need a real executive team or you become the reason the company can't scale.
The earlier you address this, the better.
