In your experience, how often do startups try to play these sorts of equity games? My feeling is that it's overwhelmingly common, but this is based only on interview experiences with 2 startups and on previous HN discussions.
- akkartik 11y agoYeah that's hard to say since nobody has a global view and new companies hang a shingle everyday. The best places tend to know what they're doing, so this makes a good signal for startup quality. Even if it causes you to miss out on a good company it's unlikely you would have had much upside with them anyway. Life's too short, lots of fish in the sea.
