It’s clear that founders today are VERY unsophisticated when it comes to dilution planning because… well, it hasn’t made a difference especially these past 2 years when valuations have been sky-high and rising constantly.

I converted the thread to a lovely essay so click through to read the whole thing and catch these lovely gems:

Enjoy! (Click to continue reading...)
