People forget this when they panic about founder exits or leadership changes. The infrastructure, brand moat, ecosystem lock-in, and capital allocation strategy matter more than one person.

Don't confuse a CEO departure with a broken business model. Sometimes the best buying opportunities come when everyone else is emotional.
