You think that the employee equity pool was 25% of the company? That's pretty high. Not maybe completely unprecedented, but I'd expect considerably lower.

Founders apparently got 50%.

GitHub had 2 funding events.

https://www.crunchbase.com/funding_round/github-series-b--49...

$250M at pre-money valuation of $1.8B i.e. 13%.

https://www.crunchbase.com/funding_round/github-series-a--83...

$100M at valuation of $650 i.e. 15%

So ~28% to VC, 50% to founders, which leaves 22%

How much of that was actually allocated, I don't know.
