It means I had shares that I could sell a ton a moments notice on a secondary market, and so far as I could tell the market for those shares was enormous. I’d guess anyone, including VCs and founders, at the top 50 or so YC companies could sell their shares at any time to a large number of willing buyers, given the ability to do so. Therefore I’d argue that the value of those shares is far different from a “vanity metric.”
- sanderjd 9y ago> anyone, including VCs and founders What about non-founder employees?
- austenallred 9y agoYes them too (I wasn’t a founder)
- sanderjd 9y agoAre there any limitations to who can do what in the secondary markets? (Thanks for your answers to my questions - it's not easy to find information on this and I don't know anybody at a company like this to ask.)
