You don't need an MBA. You already know what you need to do. For every conversation you have, concentrate on one thing: being an active listener. Focus on that like you would focus on a technical problem.

Employee options are common shares. VC gets preferred shares (typically). When the company is acquired for less than the investment or goes under, preferred shares get paid out first. So even if common shares have vested, there's no guarant
