Long story short: my manager is being often an asshole to people in my team, but he also happens to be a co-founder of the company (a rather small start-up). He is the type of guy that believes he knows everything the best, even if he is lacking IT knowledge - always trying to push through his ideas and telling the other co-founders that our team is not doing our best. Any ideas how to solve this?

If you think you can change someones habits, then you could try talking to him and asking if he knows he is doing it. If you believe he is aware and is just power happy then I wouldn't bother with this and attempt talking to the other co-workers, maybe get backup from the rest of your team to agree with you (if this is the case of course) and if that doesn't work....

That's pretty much it, if it's a co-founder I assume a friend or relative of other co-founders. They trust each other and more than likely take each others side over yours. Your best option here is to leave or start looking and hand your notice in when you think you have a decent offer.
