Our firm (CB Insights) put out the report that this article references so some additional color on this. Unfortunately, there is no data to support PG's assertion above (or refute it) about most acquisitions are HR acquisitions so I won't t

Sorry but this guesstimate is a bit absurd. If the majority of ad clicks were ineffective or for wrong reasons, Google's $231 billion market cap would be tough to justify.

Odd post given that this is a problem that some minuscule % of startups (consumer oriented, LA-based, clueless founder) even ever have to think about. Or perhaps it's a subtle dig at the new #DominateFund started by Ben parr and a few YC al

With this comment, I lost any faith in this idea as it's clear this is not about both sides deriving value in the process. In your scheme, startup "founders" or really wantrapreneurs get to try out half-baked ideas by giving away worthless

Interesting idea but think there will be a huge adverse selection problem here. Any startup giving out equity for tasks but which as no cash to pay may not be all that valuable to have equity in. And I wonder if the same can be said of the
