The so-called founder mode can be summed up in one sentence: when faced with difficulties, do you choose to solve the problem immediately or pretend not to see it/run away? Any employee can possess founder mode, while a founder may completely lack it.
Rational people will make the choice that is most beneficial to themselves. While a team desires, it doesn't actually need too many people with founder mode. In the future, ten such individuals could definitely build a unicorn company.
