> why do founders get so much equity and dish so little out to employees? 1. It's their company. They get 100% of the equity until they choose to sell some of it. 2. Founders loose control of the company when they no longer own a majority stake of the equity. 3. They must sell a significant percentage of the equity when they raise money. VCs do care about how founders spend their money, but it is in the VCs interest for a company to occasionally need to raise more money (see point #3).
