Your Startup Equity Isn’t What You Think It Is

I keep having the same conversation. Someone smart tells me they own a piece of their company, and then I ask two questions, and it turns out they don’t own anything yet. They own the right to buy something, for a limited time, if they can afford it.

Today I’m coming back to startup equity, with help from my friend Tracy DiNunzio, who built and sold a venture-backed company for nine figures. I break down what you actually get when a company offers you “equity,” the three things people almost always have backwards, and why a company can sell for a fortune while its employees walk away with nothing.
