💼 Business Startups Compensation Equity Technology Crypto
  1. The current equity model for Founding Engineers is unfair, offering them much less than the founders for similar risks and work. It's broken and needs a change.
  2. Many startups give low equity but this doesn't motivate skilled engineers, who have better options elsewhere. Fair compensation is crucial to attract and keep talent.
  3. Using crypto tokens for compensation could solve liquidity issues and provide fairer stakes for engineers, but it may scare off some candidates due to the risks associated with crypto.
