This is cool, as long as you have some way of compensating people that took risk for equity Personally, I took a very low paying job at a VC-backed company over 10 years ago. Left some time later with a significant amount of equity in the form of stock options. The company has grown immensely since then, they became profitable and stopped raising money Now I’m stuck with a bunch of ISO options that I need to spend money on to actually own the equity, without any foreseeable exit/liquidity event. The company is not offering to buy back anyone’s stock and won’t even provide financials to find a buyer myself
