I learned this too late in life. I always knew it intellectually, but to experience it first hand was something else. I looked behind the curtain of many funded startups. Here is a comment I made on another thread: "Right but usually they tell the founding engineer that they are a CTO, give them equity, but low salary. In real venture backed businesses where the equity ends up having real value, the "CTO" is gone by ~18 months. This is the point where the product is in the market, and is getting some sales. I see it constantly by non technical CEOs in NYC"
