As for reasons founders leave startups and the timing of their departure, you are right: there are many reasons. But usually when founders leave early in a company's startup trajectory, especially in the absence of an announced acquisition by a VC or corporation, it's a signal of issues between the Board and the founders. Eventually this will all play out and we will know more. In the mean time we just have to wait.
