No, you would only assume that if you bill the capacity of that founder to work at zero. Successful founders have skill at managing companies that distinct from having access to private information.
Care to elucidate the difference between “skilled at managing companies” and “skilled at investing”. Do you really claim that if I restricted the same set of people to buying/selling publicly tradable assets they would underperform the S&P 500?

Tennis is not about tapping private information. Management is not about tapping private information.

The set of people buying/selling publicly tradable assets is the set of money managers at mutual funds. Those do underperform the S&P 500.
Additionally, the EDH says that all inefficiencies that can be profitably exploited disappear. If I can hire an analysts for 100k that allows me to find an efficiency that makes me 100k I’m not outperforming the S&P 500. The EDH assumes that the price you have to pay to uncover marginal inefficencies is equal to the profits that you can make from the inefficency.
The most skilled analysts likely do get employed by funds, the funds still overall underperform.
I’m still curious if you would be willing to bet against a fund run exclusively by founders of the S&P500Those do underperform the S&P 500.
Oh yeah, I definitely agree that mutual funds are terrible. Pretty sure they’re optimizing for management fees, though, not to actually outperform the market.
I’m still curious if you would be willing to bet against a fund run exclusively by founders vs the S&P 500. Saying the management fee for such a fund would be ridiculously high seems like a reasonable objection though.
For that matter, would you be willing to bet against SpaceX vs the S&P 500?
