> I, like many others, learned the hard way not to ever get invested in a company I don’t own. We don’t get rewarded for it - we get bullshit stock options and pats on the back. I've been thinking about this a while, without investigation (doh). But I figure folks here might know the answer. What stops companies, especially startups, from giving employees share grants instead of options? Is it hard to do or is it just that they don't want to/don't believe in the company enough to make this a differentiator in the job market? If it's hard, is there a space in the market for a ?aaS to make it easier?
