Not advocating for the pool idea but that reasoning is generally incorrect. Decreasing personal capital/timing risk actually increases founder risk tolerance for bigger outcomes for their startup. Investors should want founders to be hungry for big capital, not small.
- marcinzm 6y agoYup, all that excessive risk incentives founders to do is to take a guaranteed early exit rather than go for a big future payout. And a VC who wants that probably shouldn't be a VC as they lack the risk tolerance.
