Are you asking why startups need investors? Seriously?
Yeah, if a company is profitable from day one, there is no reason to take investors money. However that happens rarely. And while some people are happy to work without salary in the beginning if they get equity, for others with different risk preferences or life situation it is a big no-go, therefore also different shares of equity and different compensation...
- righthand 2y agoNo I’m not asking that. Your insinuation is that a startup that can barely support 1 employee would need 10 employees day 1 instead of growing as it goes. VC money isn’t the only way to expand your business. If you’re not racing to market then there’s really no need to be successful 10+ employee company on day 1.
