I didn't say that. I said the VC is putting more skin in the game. Sucks for both, but were paid quite well for what we do and can walk away whenever we like.

- alpha_squared 10y agoIs "were" supposed to be "we're"? If it is, who's "we"? Not all startups pay "quite well" and there are varying levels of risk employees take. Some are certainly more extreme than others.
- siphor 10y agoI think skin in the game is proportional to net worth... as a percentage of net worth, I'd bet employees put more skin in the game. If some unfortunate VC tied 100% of their assets in this, which was tied to 100% of some direct persons money, then that'd suck for sure. Not likely though.
- coldtea 10y ago>I didn't say that. I said the VC is putting more skin in the game. No, they don't. They are putting more money in the game, but way less skin -- since with "skin" we usually refer to actual personal consequences (it doesn't get any more personal that our own literal skin).
