LTSE is trying to solve this by vesting voting rights over time. I’m curious to see if it succeeds.

Seems backwards. You should get more voting rights if you lock yourself into holding the stock for >5 years.

This is correct. Shareholders may increase the voting power of their shares up to 10x over 10 years by registering their shares on the company’s books.

On that note Eric Ries just released a new book at the end of last year, it's called "The Startup Way".
