Founder dependency doesn’t show up on a P&L, which is exactly why it’s so persistently underpriced by the people who have it.
A business where every material decision runs through one person is capped — in growth rate, in valuation multiple, and in the founder’s own ability to step back even briefly. Buyers discount for it explicitly. Employees route around it. And founders, closest to it, are often the last to see it clearly.
The fix isn’t working less. It’s deliberately building the decisions your business can make without you, starting with the ones you’re not actually best positioned to make anyway.
