Wow, thank you so much for taking the time to share this and your analysis, Pete! I was wondering if that is the case...
Love HackerNews and the fellow tech nerds on it!

Hey guys, this keeps getting flagged and I'm not sure why? Instead of flagging it can you give some feedback? I'm doing MVP testing and customer discovery right now and since most of the people in this thread are genius, I value your feedback.

By default, the system is configured to immediately place an order for the same shares and price if this occurs, to cancel out the negative effects of this.

Thanks, mate!

I'm fairly certain this process will be entirely automated by QB in the next 5 - 10 years, QB Cloud almost already is, paying a nominal fee for that software is well worth not having to do it oneself. I think you will find there's a limited market for such technology in a mature market.

This is a really complicated question and nobody in this forum is qualified, nor is it even legally permissible, to give you such feedback. You should seek out a financial advisor.
Book Idea?
Hey folks, thinking about writing a book titled 'Political Autonomy', similar to Plato's Republic where it discusses how near future tech (AI, IoT, ect.) can be applied to structure the ideal political system across each aspect (Foreign Relations, Economy, Judicial System, ect.) What are your thoughts?

I’m going to speak with people he mentioned working with to see if he does this regularly, or if some circumstances came up that made him unable to make the investment. If the second, transfer the IP and create a new shell company. If the first, repurpose the business slightly and move it offshore.

This is a good point, I hope so.

The way it was structured would have allowed him tax avoidance on the investment, but also not be considered an investment but rather a silent cofounder, which would allow me to accept a low valuation without having a negative impact on the next round. Otherwise, it needs to be explained why the valuation was so low.

There are many conditions in which this structure is entirely reasonable. However, it gets down to the investor and their track record history. I take fault for not doing due diligence and probing them. Namely:
1. Ask for references of prior companies they have funded.
2. Identity mutual contacts with someone you both know and can verify their credibility.
3. Ask around their reputation of other VCs and people in the space.
