  > charitable giving is more important than employee equity compensation You are probably assuming that employees are definitely under compensated.. what about the case when founder owns only 5% and still wants to donate a part..

    > You are probably assuming that employees are definitely under compensated.. Seems like that would be pretty typical. Start-up companies, especially YC start-ups, pay under the average for engineers. At least that's been my experience shopping around for a job. So I would expect them to all be under compensated.
