It would be interesting to see if more founders take money off the table in high value rounds as a hedge against down rounds. It's not mentioned but while the founders may lose value in their common shares a lot of them have been able to cash out in the good rounds giving them a nicer cushion compared to straight employees



Founders can take more money off the table, but that doesn't solve for the bigger problem of down rounds mentioned in the article: employees leaving.
