- hctaw 6y agoHow would it harm him? I'm sure he's being paid in equity with liquidation preference. His biggest investment is his name on something like this. This happens all the time with low tier VCs (although a few big ones have celebrities that come out of the woodwork during raises) and companies that have trouble raising money from angel investors more in the know. Go pick an athlete or musician and they probably have some startup with their name attached.
