A CEO who has “been there and done that” is traction, especially if teamed with a financial lead (CFO) and a product lead (CTO). It doesn’t prove your business model of pricing, distribution, and support. If you are strong enough to surround yourself with a strong team, that’s great progress toward success.

Don’t exacerbate the issue by needing to figure out how to deal with large equity deadweight on your hands (investors won’t like that the #2 stakeholder is absent, even estranged, from your company).
