I agree, it's hard to pull off once we get accustomed to being a single founder (survivorship bias?).
I built my company ground up from a former village in India with limited funds. I hired freshers and trained them personally to be developers. They all became good developers, but didn't become good managers (as I didn't train them for it) in-order to form a team which can shoulder responsibility.
Once I got the hang of my company with current set up, I tried to focus more on building better product than to mitigate the risk of loosing company incase something happens to me; Unfortunately it did.

Edit: pull of -> pull off
