You mention financial means, but keep in mind that depending on the stage the company is at, "financial means" ratchets upwards. The last "real" pre-IPO company I joined would have required a ~$300K check from me to earl

If I “let my kids go”, they go to the TV, iPad, or Kindle. My kids, like most of their friends, get structured time so they don’t always fall back on what they do during unstructured time — technology stuff. I can take away those options (a

It’s pretty surprising to me that they could ship a feature like that without an enforced review by security and probably several other teams (legal and pr come to mind immediately).

If you are picking lottery tickets I would agree with you. What I think the point of the article is, is that investors aren’t picking lottery tickets and neither should you. Given 1000 startups to choose from, your EV is negative as compare

Evaluating the strength of the team and the market is something you can do with zero involvement from the company, and you probably shouldn't depend on them to tell you either even if they offered. Getting a sense of founder dynamics c

There _is_ a "neither fish nor fowl" moment where private companies start giving out RSUs. It has to do with the overall value of the company and the size of the offer package, and rules around how much you can vest in ISOs in a g

If you're employee 1, you should be getting 1% or north of that. If you're employee 13 you're probably getting 25-50 bps if you negotiate.

by sulam 8y ago
Agreed. 10bps is considered low for me to get for as an advisor (I've been told that directly). The "founding engineering team" (ie, up to 8 people) is getting more than that.

I am a sample of one. And I've had a few bad experiences too, sometimes involving things like late payment (in my case because I was genuinely unable to pay). I've noticed a bit of a pattern: your landlord could be sued for discri

I'm from the bottom of the barrel, socio-economically speaking. But I'm white and male, and I can point to multiple moments in my life where people gave me the benefit of the doubt and I honestly do not believe they would have don

If you connect your Fitbit account to Facebook for the purpose of friend-finding, Facebook may keep track of your being a Fitbit user. However, Fitbit does not connect your device to Facebook. The possible exception to this is if you have a

China is showing all kinds of evidence of an economic slowdown (not a contraction, just not growing as fast). I am sure that Apple has very specific projections on a per-country and per-region basis. If they say that the problem is their Ch

Thanks for the example, although its power is somewhat reduced by the fact that you encountered admittedly buggy behavior that has since been fixed. Still, I appreciate that this is unexpected and likely hard for even an expert user to fix.

A large percentage of Eurozone finance is based in London and while (whilst?) I’m not sure where this will land (FRA most likely), it seems likely to involve some dislocation in the short term. Of course it remains to be seen how much marke

We have regional commute rail in the SF Bay Area and in the NYC Metropolitan Region. It doesn't seem to have done much except drive up housing prices near rail stations and create silliness like 5-yr waiting lists for parking at them.
