If the investors and board have taken over ownership from the founder, (or if you've bartered it away) then it's on them to keep you on board -- if that's what they want. But if they agreed to take on a majority position, their intention wasn't to keep you in charge anyway.
So now it's up to you to decide if you want to stay. It might be hard to let go of your baby, but if you've agreed to a minority stake, you've already made that decision.
That's a really valuable perspective.
