>"Thus, in order for the company to give existing employees more options or give options to new employees hired to grow the company, the option pool has to be refreshed at a faster rate than if some unexercised options had been returned to the pool. And since refreshing the pool means dilution for all those who are still employed by the company, it’s the remaining employees who get diluted in order to allow former employees to keep their optionality (not to mention also enabling those former employees to now collect a new set of options from another employer, in their next gig!)."
No where does this investor even mention investors in the mix. It's only about how bad 10 year vests are for employees, which is laughable. It's bad for the investor class who gets diluted in this model.
