Maybe in some cases but I often see founders getting diluted a lot as well. Many times when startups get acquired/whatever - founders will get next to nothing because the investors had liquidation preferences. The founders still go through with it though cause it allows you to start another company and raise rounds. If you become known as a founder who prioritizes himself over his investors - who is going to give you money…?
