Holdbacks are held in stock although booked as cash expenses, so saying $180m in Cash doesn't mean stock was not used.

Who cares. Just build your startup wherever you WANT to be and I guarantee that you will have a better result than trying to do it somewhere you don't want to be. If you want to be in Canada then do it in Canada. If you want to be in NY or

Yeah, companies who hire consulting firms also get worried about this. Jr consultants on planes 3 or 4x a week and when you get them at your office they are unhealthy and not as effective as they should be. Smart clients force the firm to f
