    I’m getting cheap options for a decent share of the company as part of my contract, so I will have a say in future development :)

      well that sounds like much fairer treatment than the experience of many people around me. do those shares come with strings attached?

        Only string attached is that I’m required to sell them back to the company if I quit. I think that makes sense, since we’re not publicly traded, and want all shareholders to be people actively invested in the company.

          yea that doesn’t sound bad. I have heard couple stories where by the time people were allowed to sell their shares, they were barely worth more than supermarket coupons.
