I'm not sure why that would be the case here. Unless, for some reason(s), he has sold most of his share of the company to Sytse, I don't see why Dmitriy would own less stock than his co-founder. Especially considering that Dmitriy has started the relevant open source project prior to Sytse's involvement and then, after the company's formation, has actively participated in technical decision making and software development.
