From my experience of dealing with it further down the line, founders don't talk about this enough. Views? "Mostly, the “longer-than-four-years-vesting” founders share a similar story as well as logic. Almost always they are repeat, experienced founders. Often scarred by a co-founder separation in their prior startup, they are determined to set things up smarter in their next company." https://lnkd.in/e5_3xfR6
