My stake is considerably larger than that. It’s what we’re offering to a great new hire. Guys in their mid 20’s, super talented, but nevertheless don’t have a clue.
And enough with this “making a bet” bullshit. Founders aren’t betting their own money, and they are getting paid considerable salaries for their work. IOW they aren’t risking anything. Not even opportunity cost.
