What's the largest equity role you've held?
- toomuchtodo 3y agoIn a YC unicorn, ~%0.15 give or take (out of 0.2% granted, employee 10-15). In other orgs, various amounts depending on how my contribution is valued (grinding on a keyboard, advising, etc). In my most recent role, they gave me a ton of RSUs for essentially "head of security" at a fintech reporting to a CISO. My point is that if you're not asking about ownership, you should be. My personal financial situation is not representative of the broad working class. Lots of luck involved too, but asking is mostly free.

- DANmode 3y agoI'm building something, and approaching investment stage. Really like the "cut of your jib" - are you currently interested in hearing about opportunities?
- toomuchtodo 3y agoDefinitely interested if I can materially contribute. Email in profile, looking forward to hearing what you're building and how I can help.
