Actually, in startups everyone is aligned in their interest due to stock options. Anyone who looks at it as employer/employee just doesn't get the startup dynamic. As an investor in 20 startups I'm constantly pushing to give more stock options to employees, and as the founder of three companies with over 100 f/t employees and 250 part-time folks, I'm constantly pushing to increase stock compensation over cash comp. Why
its not necessarily true that increasing stock-options to employees align their collective interest. for a startup; it only really works if everyone has close to equal shares
Its sorta like paying disney employees with disney-bux for their bonuses.
