I believe that Carreyrou's book says Holmes built a relationship with George Shultz, then Henry Kissinger, William Perry, and Sam Nunn, through Stanford's Hoover Institution. They were all fellows at Hoover. I'm looking at pa

Very aware, but information was strictly compartmentalized inside the company so individual employees had to figure out that things were badly wrong in different ways, depending on what their roles were and when in the lifecycle of the comp

In my experience in San Francisco (before all the scooters were taken off the streets last weekend), going ~3 miles on a scooter was much easier, more practical, and more fun than I expected. (And affordable.) I agree that 0.7m is right on

Again, I definitely agree about early stage employees having substantial equity. But I would also not call dedication to a job for reasons that go beyond compensation "irrational."

Three thoughts just based on my own personal experience working at startups for ~20 years: Many, many people are committed to jobs for reasons other than money, across all walks of life. This is often true for engineers, too. Few experience

Maybe a devil's deal, but not with the goal of under-paying employees. I know very few founders who have the highest salary at their own company, which is as it should be. Founders of VC-backed companies are making an explicity equity-

I agree about offering early employees as much equity upside as you can (and, just as importantly, a great work environment and team culture). But I disagree that the kind of people I described are rare, or that they are "basically ret

I've heard this from multiple Fortune 500 hiring managers, too. And of course it's doubly true for founders and hiring managers at startup and growth-stage tech companies! Just about every experienced person I know in startup-land

Anecdotally, that's not my experience. I see a lot of people working at startups who got tired of doing things at big companies that just weren't that interesting to them. Those folks have often made enough money that they can aff

The Work at a Startup resource is great. We've found it to be an excellent hiring resource. As other folks have noted, the pros/cons of working at a startup vs an established Silicon Valley tech company have shifted over the past
