- spencerfry 15y agoIt all depends on the type of business you're trying to run.
- jayzee 15y agoA lot of discussion around dilution ignores the important aspect of the number of founders. If you are a single founder, you might want to raise more money to hire a larger team and you would be fine with greater dilution since you own a bigger chunk to begin with. You are still going to own a meaningful stake even after the extra dilution. If you are a team with 4 founders you need to be extra careful with dilution. I find it strange that the standard advice on dilution often ignores this important aspect.
- ironfroggy 15y agoWhy is the question always framed in terms of "how much" rather than "if"?
- Mz 15y agoAs a guess: Because many modern people confuse value and money. Kind of like when I was a homemaker and some people viewed me as not really a contributing member of society because the work I did wasn't attached to a paycheck. Without a paycheck/dollar value attached to my name to signal to them what my contribution was worth, they figured it was valueless rather than priceless.
