>In retrospect it sounds obvious that if the company sells for less than the money the investors put in, your x percent is worth nothing.
that is what i've been wondering about. If going into startup i take a $50K/year salary hit wouldn't it mean that i'm actually investing $50K/year and thus should get the same quality and price of shares (not options) what the early investors do?
what should happen and what happens legally are two different things. though it's your choice to take that risk, no one is forcing you to work for sub market rates.
