Yes, that would make mid-growth startups more attractive to join. I know a few startups have done that but I haven't encountered one yet.

Also, wasn't there a scandal a few years ago of a startup that promised that and later canceled? So would have to see the contractual wording carefully.

I didn't hear about this, nor could I find anything specific on Google. I did find that apparently some companies have pretty aggressive clawback clauses, which is a huge yikes from me.

Anyway, I think if you ever do talk to a mid stage startup, you should tell them this is what it would take to convince you. More people demanding it will likely cause the market to move.
