Ask HN: How do you write a resume when all you've ever done is be a founder?
So my question is... how do you write a resume when all you've ever done is be a founder and done your own thing?

If they are only asking for a resume then that resume isn't likely to hold much weight. More likely it's simply going to be a reference sheet for use with the interview.
When I have been asked for a resume I just update my LinkedIn profile and export it as a PDF (it's pretty much in resume format.)
Next, think about what you've done in those "positions" that's worth talking about (hint: probably a lot).
Talk about those things you've done. Emphasize that you're a "self-starter" (you are, and it shows), that you're able to self motivate (same), and that you see things through to completion (if you do).
