First time I read this topic. I didn't read the pastebin, just the comment and was wondering how someone was a founder and not be included in the valuations/investment side of things, or at least informed.
Then I read the link. How is this consider a 'founding engineer'? Are people looking so much to be founders that they call themselves that even they are obviously employees (first one but still employee). He got a salary and generous (aha) stock options, that doesn't make him a founder one bit. Heck, I was offered equivalent equity at a start up just to serve as technical director and shape up their initial development team, so how in god's name is 3% something a 'founder' has?
