I've worked for a couple single founder businesses (not with OP though). I'll never do it again. I think it's much healthier when they have someone on equal footing that can tell them when they're being unreasonable and going in the wrong direction. As a single founder with all the control, it's too easy to just dismiss concerns that employees raise. I guess that's where the arrogance comes from. Absolute power corrupts and all that...

Yep, this is exactly why I left my last startup.
