If you picture a cap table having 3 components
1) Investor's Share
2) Founder's Share
3) Employee's Share
Founders try to optimize for their own share, but investors basically destroy the employee share to get founders to agree. I don't believe most founders are sophisticated enough to model employee interests until it is too late.
My belief is that a new structure could be sold to founders by being a thought leader. In a world with tons of money and no edge, I believe its worth it for someone to try.
But... I'm not a VC, and personally believe its the most difficult gig in investing (which investing is the most difficult gig in any job long-term). So, take anything I say with a massive grain of salt.
