Depends entirely on the startup I guess? And, I mean, I could found a company right now and call myself "CEO" and my friend from school who's a brilliant actor with no computer skills "director of IT", that does not say much.

Experience depends on how many humans are under you. If you're a CEO with 0 full time directs, you would have a difficult time moving into an EM role.

That’s my point, except stronger, because number of people under you is not sufficient. If you’ve never written a line of assembly, you will have problems managing a compiler backend team for example.
