You could try: - You get back 10x on your initial investment ($1.5m) before anyone else gets paid when you sell the company. In the form of preferred shares. - After that equity split 60/40 (i.e. you have 50% more equity)

Doesn’t necessarily apply to every industry… sure to a growing sector like software then maybe yes. In other parts of the economy, teams can have fixed sizes and budgets. This means no wiggle room to bring in new people. I manage a team but

Look at your pension….in the UK, if you’re in the 40% tax bracket and with the tax relief, you’ll get an instant return on your money of 67%…the downside is the lock in.

More like 6 years is the standard US investment term on a 10 fund life with 2x 1-year extensions taking it to 12. Investment term can end early if they raise a new fund but need to be 70% invested and committed. Original comment…not entirel

Please enlighten me and point to where in this article it makes it a women problem… feels like they are highlighting a men’s issue… The article feel like it is trying to lay out facts relating to tradition while withholding opinion. Seems t

Just get another job....poorly treated...unlikely to materially improve... If you are a contractor, then you can decide your bill rate and hours. If you are asked to work extra say that you need to be compensated and if they have sign off f

Instead of focusing 100% on yourself, you need to get out of your own head. Go help others. Volunteer. Use your time.

It isn’t that black and white…to look at it in that light is reductionist. Further equality is good however it would be helpful to do so in a constructive manner. What often happens is that SJWs just shut down debates and discussions.. beca
