founding team
Initial core group
The founding team is the group of people who start a company or organization together, typically sharing early risks, equity, and decision-making authority.
The term emphasizes collective effort over a single founder: She wasn't the CEO, but she was part of the founding team.
In startup culture, founding team membership often determines equity stakes and carries lasting prestige even after roles change.
