Is a Low Valuation Good for Startup Employees in the Long Run?

Wed, 10/30/2024 - 4:03am

Startups often face a dilemma around valuation — while higher valuations can attract more capital and hype, lower valuations might offer different benefits to early employees. For example, lower valuations could mean employees get more shares for the same grant size, potentially resulting in better returns if the company succeeds. On the flip side, lower valuations could signal challenges or slower growth. How do low valuations affect the long-term upside for employees? Are there hidden advantages or risks that employees should consider when joining a lower-valued startup? What are your experiences or thoughts?

Show HN: VSCode Extension to toggle between string cases

Wed, 10/30/2024 - 4:03am

Is there real value in reassessing IP annually, or are there better approaches? How do others manage IP valuation frequency, and what factors drive the decision?
