Wow. Thank you for the insight, as someone who is working on getting funding for my business.

  This advice is about PE deals, not you.

    I think you're mistaken. The title of the article is "The Tricks Investors Use Against Founders". I'm a founder, working on attracting Private equity from investors, and trying to make sure I don't get tricked. I think that this advice is for me!

      Heh. You mean private investment. This refers to large scale deals from PE shops. I've personally raised twice and have invested in 50+ startups. None of this stuff happens in early stage VC or angel land.

        My original comment: "Wow. Thank you for the insight, as someone who is working on getting funding for my business." I don't see any conflict, even if it's 20 years before I need to worry about these issues, I'm just thanking the OP, and author for the heads up...
