Of course I am! But I don’t want to found a company just to found a company. We’re talking about attracting talent to small companies. I’m offering my perspective on why joining a small company doesn’t make tons of sense with the status quo equity packages and sub-market salaries offered. There’s some good discussion on another post about this exact problem and it seems, at least, that VCs are starting to come around as well and there is productive discussion about alternative early stage plans/strategy for capitalizing in a way that can attract top talent from big companies. I’m not founder bashing please don’t take my comment the wrong way.
