You should probably read this prescient thread a few weeks back. If you go through the comments, the majority of early employees got screwed by the founders. The ones that benefited are the best-of-breed companies like AMZN, GOOG, etc. They took care of their employees.

- keeptrying 15y agoI'm not talking about the final exit. I'm talking about an award to the founders if they can get the company to a billion dollar valuation. That's all I'm talking about. And not Fu money but something of the order of 1million which would give the entrepreneur a small nest egg for having gotten this far but doesn't really make him financially secure. And I agree that shafting employees is reprehensible and downright despicable.
