Let's define "technology lottery" as an idea/concept/invention/innovation that wins out not because of technological superiority, but rather due to fortuitous circumstances relative to alternative directions. One example could be AC vs DC electricity [1], another could be the invention of gas vs electric cars [2]. What are more examples of technology lotteries?[1]...
In short, the YC "Standard Deal" [1] is $125k in return for 7% of the company using a post-money SAFE. How they get that 7% is a bit confusing... There is not a predetermined cap and/or discount on the SAFE? That is, without knowing the terms of the later priced round where the SAFE converts, what SAFE terms define a 7% equity stake?[1] https://www.ycombinator.com/deal/
I'm concerned about this as well.
> I'm pretty confident that bunkering in my apartment is the right call.
Thank you, that's reassuring
P(failure) = P(infection) * P(critical) * (1-P(icu))
0.1 * 0.8 * 0.9 = 0.072
That infection probability is optimistic, considering what you mention above. That ICU availability probability is the situation we're facing in NYC.
I'm 30 years old with an autoimmune disease that puts me at high risk of COVID19. I'm otherwise very healthy -- vegetarian, yoga instructor, runs marathons, sleeps 8 hours, non-smoker. I'm isolating well in my apartment: haven't left in 10 days, and work well as a software eng. My main concern is if I do get infected (which is likely [1]), my immune deficiency suggests I'm very likely to become...
What are the differences (from an employer perspective) of an AI Residency [1] versus a Junior AI Research Engineer?If someone is high potential but also high risk (b/c lack of AI experience), I can see the benefit of a trial period. On the other hand, the company invests resources to educate and grow the residents, with some risk of losing them to other companies at the end of the program.[1]...

For better or worse, I have been exploring acquihire for a few weeks already, with several interested parties. However those discussions have not included the current circumstance, where I personally would not be 100% involved post-acquisition. I imagine this could be a dealbreaker.
Succinctly, I'm solo founder of a promising stealth startup with angel funding [1], but due to personal circumstances I need to take an extended amount of time off (likely a year or more). One option is to give the money back and kill the startup, letting go the one other fulltime team member. I would much prefer to transition the startup to others to take the reins, while I maintain a minimal...

That is, how can a founder get out of a signed term sheet in a way that saves face / social capital?
Joanne is a rockstar SW engineer in Canada, working as a contractor for several years bringing in ~$150k annually. The Boston-based startup Foobai want to hire her as one of the first few engineers. They've agreed to the following comp: $90k salary, 2% equity. The salary isn't quite enough to support herself financially, so Joanne wants to pick-up a side gig. Foobai agrees to this, as long as...
The examples here are not 100% independent, given prior friendships or working relationships with the founders. Terms will stipulate that the assignment of an independent director be "mutually agreed upon by the other board members" (e.g. founder and investor).
Solo founder here, raising a seed round with a lead VC who wants a board seat. It seems straightforward for co-founders in this situation to retain control of the board, 2-to-1. As a solo founder, would this be 1-to-1 and an independent? Even if that independent is mutually agreed upon, I'd still be giving up control. How can this be structured without pissing-off the VC? Is there any precedent...
