The part where I begged for funding is another story: https://blog.tooljet.com/raising-vc-funding-for-open-source-... Also the link to HN launch that helped a lot: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27421408

There is no time for Worrying about titles -- I was "Jack of All Trades" for 4 years at the company I co-founded before I became CEO!
> if someone from the team steps up and adds a lot of value that is expected from a co-founder, we will definitely promote the person as a co-founder How can someone get the title of a cofounder of an already (at least) 2 years old company which is already set up an running?

Be careful with advice like this. You don't know if the company has yet succeeded. A lot of it is quite logical but at the same time many things are an anomaly e.g the tool launched and closed fundraising within a short period of time. That's not always how it works out. Just because first commit to funding was 3 months doesn't mean you'll experience the same thing. I struggled for 4 years alone on an OSS project bef…
