I think you're misinterpreting the situation, because I didn't "overstep" my manager, and in a small company everyone has a relationship with everyone. (IE, what I did was taking initiative and making good use of dead time.)
I'm not comfortable discussing this further in a public forum at this point, but you're welcome to look at my profile to contact me directly if you want to.
I understand and don't have your context.
If you're still looking at this thread, this article explains what's going on: https://www.startups.com/articles/how-founders-get-fired-by-...
The article takes a harsh tone on the situation, which really isn't true. (I wish the author avoided the word "failed" because the situation is really about recognizing success and playing to strengths.)
Sure, you have a lot more tactical context.
I agree that diagnosing and treating Founder's Syndrome is a natural, healthy outcome.
