I think Nathan has put a slightly negative spin on what happened to Gumroad- maybe implying that it was intended all along - but he does have a bit of a point.

- duxup 6y ago>he does have a bit of a point Whats the point? Really though, I'm having trouble figuring it out.
- gadders 6y agoThat Gumroad states it is "for creators" but the original Gumroad creators will not benefit from the new funding round.
- duxup 6y agoIIRC 'creators' as far as Grumroad's tagline is concerned are their customers.
- gadders 6y agoYes, understood, but I guess Nathan Barry's point would be why treat your company co-creators differently than your customer-creators.
- duxup 6y agoCall me crazy but I think the deal between the two is dramatically different up front, even what everyone does. End customer's don't have any equity... in the end neither did the employees. That's the same, unfortunately. But they're the same that way. I think those are two dramatically different deals you're making with people, pretending they should be the same seems oblivious to the actual relationships.
