I thought this was good, but I was a little disappointed that they didn't have time to get to the "equity for employees" part (I also don't know if this was covered in another video, as I've only been watching sporadically).
Do people have thoughts about this? It seems to me that this area is generally somewhat opaque, with many people on either side being reluctant to discuss it honestly for various reasons (founders might want employees to think that a pittance is reasonable, employees might embellish when talking to others, etc).
What do you do if you just want to be fair? What do you do differently for employees #1 and #2 vs #10, #20, etc (assuming you ever get that big)? How do you adjust for differences in expected value of the employee to the company (e.g. recent grad vs. senior "executive" type with valuable industry connections)?
When should you allocate an employee equity pool and how do you size it appropriately?
