Can't private companies give out equity just fine?
- mikeg8 7y agoYes? But if there is no intention of an IPO, where an early employee has a reasonably easy path to liquidate their stock/options, what is the benefit of owning equity in a private company when there may be a limited/non-existent market for said equity?
- ralusek 7y agoPotentially entitled to a percentage of quarterly profits, among other things. Draft whatever terms you'd like.
- scurvy 7y agoStartups these days eschew profits for "reinvesting in the bueiness." Heck, many publicly traded companies do this, too. Also, let's be realistic in what you're asking for here.
