It's crazy how "founder friendly" and "investor friendly" (read: "employee unfriendly") the norm has gotten. I would never work for someone else's startup these days. No way, no how. Four orders of magnitude difference between the founders' exit and the early employees' exit is totally unacceptable.
- neilv 2y agoYeah, I've been burnt badly by that before. Which is part of why my founder co-matching profiles mention that I'm looking to spread the equity wealth around among early hires, more than is usual. If a prospective co-founder is turned off by that, without a really compelling reason, then we'd probably clash on other values as well. And I'd also think there's a good chance they'll backstab me when they think they can.
