SaaSyCryptoAI - Leverage our custom AI driven backend to mint your own coin! Seriously though, great little lesson. It would be nice to factor in internal raises and a bit of granularity for when exercises happened to see final payouts and similar bonus topics but I would recommend this to anyone thinking about taking a job with options involved.
It doesn't understand authorized vs issued shares
Thank you for python anywhere, I will add that to my chasm of free hosters.
Yeah, that’s not how my company operates. I’m maintaining my majority share by splitting only. The VCs can go along, or they can hope their next investment is the unicorn.
so many erroneous statements in this game. also it's not much of a "game", is it.

Quick equation:
1. is it an ai lab with a well know founder -> equity might be worth something
2. are you the CEO founder? -> equity might be worth something
3. are you a non CEO co founder? -> equity might be worth something, will probably be stolen from you
4. is the company a year or two from a certain IPO? equity might be worth something
5. all other cases likely zero
