Creating a YC index product to help founder recruit talent – good or bad idea?
Create a YC index and let founders use this index to help recruit top talent.
1. Create a Fund
2. Invest into top 50% of YC companies, creating an index
3. Invest in new companies with stock ($50k of preferred exchanged for $50k of stock options in the index)
4. Stipulation that founders are to use these stock options to bring on top talent.
5. Example offer letter for a top talent: base salary, stock comp in the startup, $25k stock options in a YC index
Would this help with hiring top talent? Would founders be for or against this? Love to hear feedback.
