Fred,I know this is probably not the best spot to ask a question, but I an avid reader of your blog. I was wondering if you could write a post about employees of start ups. I’m curious because I work for a start up and I’m wondering as a VC if you could talk about how many shares an employee should look for in a new company? What percentage of a company should a major contributor look for? I’m new to this and very confused 🙂 Any help would be appreciated.
I think brad feld has written on that already. I recall thinking that he nailed it. I’ll go look and post a link if I find itFred
