It’s important to start early - we need to start talking and we need men to start talking about the fact that you need to start early.
TweetShareShare As part of our Founders + Funders SF 2019 summit, held in partnership with Seneca VC, we brought together an exciting group of startup founders and investors for a day of learning, networking and growth.
When it gets complicated and/or wrong, it’s really hard to tell if you are removing bias from equity compensation for these shareholders, especially the employee shareholders. So not only are cap tables complicated, but valuing equity is complicated. An option pool is the amount you set aside to issue to employees or to issue common stock. You primarily do these option pools or set up these option pools when you’re raising a round, so that every time you issue options to employees, you’re not having to recalculate ownership percentage and dilution. You set this off in advance, and that means you have that dilution calculation happen once.
Back to employees, switching back and forth between two ways of valuing options here, the FMV way and the preferred price way. This is how we tell employees in our literal offer letter. We tell them how to calculate the notional value. We give them the information to be able to do that. We would have given them the strike price, but we had just raised a round, so we didn’t know.
We would have loved to have been able to include that in the study, but we couldn’t, given the limitations. We cut it down from our overall numbers on Carta, given a lot of these constraints, but we had a statistically significant amount of people in the study. We have one quote was from the CEO of Carta [Slide 24]. He’s a man. He did not start on diversity early, and he didn’t realize how important it is to start early. Well, obviously, it’s important to start early, and we need to start talking, and we need men to start talking, about the fact that you need to start early.

Is Trump’s Iran policy leading to war?The relationship between Iran and the U.S. has worsened since the Trump administration pulled out of the Iran nuclear deal and reimposed sanctions. A June 13 attack on two oil tankers that the U.S. blamed on Iran set off a sequence of retaliation. After Iran shot down a U.S. drone, President Trump considered bombing Iran, but called it off at the last minute. \n\nTrump believes the threats of military action combined with the sanctions will force Iran to go back to the bargaining table. Trump wants a tougher new accord. He has said he doesn't want war, but his national security adviser, John Bolton, has been publicly calling for an attack on Iran for more than a decade.
