Companies often fail to recognize the potential of employees with entrepreneurship experience. Organizations tend to cocoon founders and relegate them to peripheral 'skunk work' teams rather than integrating them into core, high-impact roles. Such sidelining neutralizes founders' ability to challenge assumptions and adapt in crises. Elevating founders into visible positions and soliciting their input through direct channels increases organizational resilience. Acquisition founders can remain in product leadership and contribute to growth, though some founders depart after integration. Hiring practices that prioritize prior company-creation experience help identify candidates who adapt quickly and perform well under pressure.
