Considering the vast majority of companies fail rather than become unicorns, I feel their experience is much, much more generalized than the alternative.

- logicallee 9y agoThey wrote "anyone": >anyone who chooses stock options over cash is naive, delusional, or misled. What you've written also applies to founders. Why not write: "any founder is delusional. Unless they succeed, in which case they're just lucky." But if that is true, nobody should admit being a founder during the delusional phase. If they succeed, they should never give advice. Except that 10,000x multipliers exist, and the reason I listen to successful founders is to learn from them. The gp poster isn't a 10,000x-er. That says more about them and their career than it does about startups.
- s73ver_ 9y agoSorry, but no. You've gone off track. And their post applies to far, far, far more people than your would apply to. This talk of 10,000x-ers is just ludicrous.
- logicallee 9y agoYes, their post applies to nearly everyone. That doesn't give them the right to call the exceptions naive, delusional, and misled.
