Word is that the 3-4 billion that Robinhood raised recently severely diluted employee stock. I am in the middle of an interview at the moment and planning on walking away because of their lack of transparency towards their customers and their employees.

    All fund raising rounds dilute employees. There’s no “lack of transparency “ there.

      And, BTW, the lack of transparency with their customers is a real thing.

      You can’t always get favorable terms in the moment. Much better to set the company up for long term security. See ABNBs cap raise at the start of the pandemic.

      I mean, it’s your call to walk away from a good thing. Go for it. They won’t miss you.

    huh? every fund raise diluted employees. it also increases the value. dilution is the only way to increase the valuation. you don’t need “the word” to know about this dilution. it is known.

    I had read it was a convertible note. So when converted it will definitely dilute everyone.

    I think the point here is that it could even be a down round (fall in valuation)
