So much bullshit. Know nothing bozos trying to take 1% of your company. Your competitor employees pretend they want to join you to get all your secrets. Your customers want a perfect product on day one. Investors want to bring down valuation because of their bs value add. You try to get diversity but most female engineers who know their stuff won't leave a FANG job. Engineering Kids out of college ask 120k .... And the list goes on Just wanted to rant. At the end of the day, you suck it up and keep pushing! If something worked for you, do share!
So basically a humble brag?
Well, what's the point of joining a startup leaving 200k a year worth of RSU's if you don't get at least 1% of the company, so that if there is a potential exit, you at least stand to make a few million for taking the additional risk.
After a few rounds of dilutions it would take a 300m$ liquidity event for your 1% to match the RSUs from top public companies... And there's a higher chance that Google /Facebook / etc. triple share price in the next four years than your startup getting to unicorn status.
Dude, I have no problem with team members taking 1% or more even. The bozos I'm talking about are advisors or so-called industry insiders. Even famous bloggers are asking for equity to write about you
Most female engineers won’t leave a fang job cuz we are smart enough to know startups are full of bullshit and bozos
You don’t know that
You realize you can keep accounts right. And you don’t know where I have worked besides salesforce
Whoa you guys are being a bit harsh don’t you think? It’s a hard life being a starving founder. Best luck OP, hope things look up next gear!
On the other hand - getting funding for startups is way easier than 8-10 years ago. Especially for bullshit promising.
That's the deal. If that is too hard just get a day job.
