Let's keep praying for fewer and fewer regulations, it's going great!
I didn't know that VCs were ever "not cancer", I've always known them like that. Also my experience with startups is that it is a big scam for employees, but I understand it's not always the case (maybe it depends on where in the world?). I have been an early employee in multiple startups that got the founders rich, and what I got from the stocks didn't compensate for the low salary while working there.
Do I understand correctly that when VCs invest, they dilute the employees and somehow the founders can get away without being diluted? That's the only way I could explain the difference between what the employees get and what the founders get if the startup is successful.
And young people are super excited to work in startups because of old stories like "early employees at Google/Facebook became rich", I guess.
