>> But they are exposed!

For their exposure, employees are compensated with salaries. Are you willing to pay your company money if the product you work on misses expectations?

Does the CEO pay? The founders don't get to pay the compamy, they usually don't invest cash (in angel/VC-funded startups). With some luck/skill the company gets sold/aqui-hired and the investors can get their money back. Not always, but quite often.
