This is all ego. I know VCs that love giving away "co-founder" titles because they can often get away with giving less equity in exchange for the title.

- nihonjon 14y agoI'd sooner be called "janitor" and receive fair share than have a title and less. But your point is depressingly common, especially with the Rocket Internet CEOs/co-founders who receive less than 5% for anything the Samwer Brothers try cloning.
- tptacek 14y agoHow does a VC "give away a 'co-founder' title"? Investors don't set titles.
