Great article, but I am still not really understand some of the part of the whole picture. Can someone help here?
I am now working in a series A company, taking 0.13% of the company, 13,000 shares (options). At the other side, Pinterest offers me 30,000 RSUs which I turned down because I thought Pinterest was already a late stage company.
But after I did these researches (including this post), I am wondering if I made a right decision? my 13,000 shares will always be 13,000 shares, no matter how much dilution we have in future, right? so does it mean even if my company grew to the size of Pinterest in future, I still only have that 13,000 shares instead of 30,000 I could get from Pinterest easily with less risk?
Or all late stage startup companies have split their stocks otherwise I don't see how joining a early startup for 13,000 would be any better
