Reading this lead me to a tangentially related question:
Is there a recommended forum, website, subreddit, whatever, that discusses issues revolving around startup equity?
I'm new to the Bay Area, and working at my first funded startup. There are a lot of, for lack of a better word, things that strike me as strange about our current equity situation... and I'd like to know where I can discuss things like what is fair and equitable, and how worried I should be that certain fancy titles are being handed out like candy to non-developers.
I do, by the way, like the ideas suggested in the post - but I wonder about the company that achieves moderate success, but never achieves a clear-cut liquidity event. Instead it continues on for years, perhaps a decade, who knows, without being sold or IPOing. It would put an initial employee in an awkward position; they'd leave most of their equity on the table if they left, giving them no value for many years of contributions.
