I worked for a company years ago that was in the same situation that you are in now. I was the first employee brought in to assist with the more day to day operations of the business. Things went well for a while. We added on more staff and I moved up and that's when I started to see the problems with the founder. His lack of management skills began to take its toll and the company was dead in the water six months later.

Dealing with tech is the easy part, it's the people that will get you.
