Super fair criticism of the post and process/structure. My only pushback might be that you can raise $25k or $50k with this structure (doesn't have to be $1.3mm) and you can use these docs with 2 or 3 investors if 30+ isn't t

Thanks dude! Totally fair question & assumption BTW :-)

It was my belief that at the time, they were fairly compensated for the roles they held at the VP level. When we moved them up to officer titles and roles, we did increase compensation as well. Our standard policy is that we always pay abov

I think technically, I may not have needed board permission to make the move, but certainly any time you're promoting to officer level, you should be informing your board/investors.

I'll publicly go on record as saying I'd do this (if it's as safe and well-tested as the article suggests). I think, like many other things, it simply takes some public examples, preferably high profile, to help instill trust in people.
