Are you worried that you don't possess the ability to give off the body language of leadership and that eventually there will be a scramble to be the "alpha figure" and have control of the startup?

In terms of the "alpha figure", it's generally not good to have someone that thinks they can have control of the project on the team. Teams should be about having complete and total trust in the other members of the team, and the feeling of "where all in this together" is what pushes the team to succeed.

If you're worried about your ability to show leadership body language, you could start by making a conscious effort to make eye contact with you talk to for the duration of the conversation. This will be uncomfortable, but will force you to push your bounds of how you act and give you confidence to make other changes.

After that, watch Deep Space Nine and mimic everything Sisko does :)
