The range in equity grants can still cause problems. The reality is exposing this information only works against you and limits your ability to negotiate with employees if you know it will be exposed to others.

I disagree completely.

That being said I believe company’s and founders should be as transparent as possible but sometimes that can come at a price and so it’s not ideal to be completely forthcoming.

The cap table can have sensitive information on it that might compromise employees and or investors or the founders themselves.

I don’t think being secretive about the exact details of the cap table is indicative of anything.

They should be able to tell you broadly how many shares there are and how valuable your equity grant is tho.

Do you see the irony in your question yet? =P

Most people don’t even know what sideloading is, but more importantly it would kill the value of tik tok because the population would be gone and therefor the audience and the money.

It’s not about optimizing it’s about cash flow. If you get a 500k mortgage today at the current rate of ~7% your monthly payment is about 3500/mo. That same mortgage financed 2 years ago around ~2% is a monthly payment of 1800. For the SAME house you are paying basically double the amount per month. This isn’t optimizing a few bucks per month it’s about not being able to afford the same house.

Every homeowner knows this and if they’ve ever had the incling to move int rh last year theyve done the math and realize it simply doesn’t make sense. People won’t move right now unless life forces them to.

When the interest rate goes up that fast existing homeowners are less inclined to sell because their monthly payments will go way up buying a comparable house elsewhere. So you end up reducing supply when it happens so fast and so much.

I mean, they could do it. But it would be wildly unpopular among that demo.

I literally just wasted so much money on a logo. Coulda used this post last week.

If you are talented you will have no problem keeping or landing a new job. The people that have trouble maintaining employment are the ones that are not very good. Tech is about as close to a meritocracy as there is in the US.

There is of course a lot of nepotism and politics but generally if you have talent you will be employed. There is simply too much demand for talented tech people.

The large layoffs are not good but they are course correcting and these companies are still actively hiring despite the billboard layoff announcements.

Well the opposite view isn’t really based on science , only in faulty risk mitigation. So is it riskier to let your kid go without knowing for a long time or is it better to test in a limited controlled window where you can react and adapt if something goes wrong.

We did the same. My wife was nervous but I’m like, it’s common sense.

We did hold off on honey until they were one due to the botulism risk tho.

The idea is you basically just touch their lips with a dab at first, so if there is any sort of reaction it isn’t life threatening. Then you increase a bit, etc.

You know what I’d listen to is a podcast of just normal founders. I’d love to just hear about people like me, not the 1% on either side.

Blew up last week because they had to sell stock and explain why. Which is what she’s light on their liquidity crunch.

This is true of every tech billionaire. They improved something that already existed.

Rarely if ever do they true novel inventors dominate the market because when the market doesn’t exist they have to create it, and also they’re inventors not necessarily business men.
