Silicon Valley celebrates a certain kind of founder — the kind of person who will do whatever it takes to succeed, who isn’t afraid of breaking a few eggs to make an omelette, who looks at rules as challenges rather than limitations.

Not surprisingly, founders like that can get into trouble when they find themselves on a larger stage, and the past week has provided two stark examples: the founders of RadiumOne and GitHub.
