But you're right, it does keep out the "guys who are looking to collect a fat paycheck working 35 hours/week." I didn't know that that was a problem, though; I haven't met anyone like this. I have met people who prefer a steady paycheck right now because they're not in a position to do otherwise. They're definitely open to doing so (or founding a company) down the road. I'd like to point out there were not a lot of people willing to take the leap and join a startup ~4 years ago. There are many more founders around now, both technical and business, and they're not a limiting factor in the startup reaction to the degree they were four years ago.[1] Now I'd say it's leaning toward technical employees, and the employee equity pool may reflect that by growing from 20 to 25, or even 30%. [1] I'm eyeballing, and judging from hanging out in the valley. Sam Altman said technical founders were the limiting factor in startups about four years ago in startup school.
