I'm not too sure where to ask this, but I work for a tech start up and we are getting equity....what should I be aware of, ask about or any resources I can look at? You all are "in tech" and I see discussions about this so I figured I'd ask....

Also what's a real easy way to tell if I'm getting hosed?

Tbf they've been in buisness for 4 years and are highly highly profitable. I guess maybe not a start up anymore?

They plan to sell in approx 3-5 years

you're never gonna get rich
usually the way to value it is at $0
but you could just value it at strike price, given the derisking from it being profitable and poo poo
exercise if you feel like it, but don't think you're gonna get rich

don't go into startupland for the money, go into it for technical interest and interesting loving weirdo people

new tesla plan: ramp up production volume by buying all our manufacturing subcontractors

no, i'm not sure how that's supposed to work either

It's smartest man in the room syndrome again. Obviously the problem cannot lie with us, because we are the smartest. It must be a problem with one of those dumb contractors who successfully makes two million seats per year for every other car company.

I mean, getting vertically integrated isn't necessarily a bad thing in terms of efficiency but it isn't going to add the missing zero that their production numbers need?

There's a reason most car companies use one of a few seat builders to provide the seats rather than build their own

Yeah, it's not a good idea but I can understand how/why Ol' Muskie *thinks* it's a good idea.

What I don't understand is how/why he thinks this will somehow solve the missing zero problem I mentioned.

there is a real chance this is an entirely pragmatic solution to the supplier otherwise suing tesla for not ramping as quickly as they promised in some contract

since tesla will need further funding going forward the value in not being too public with such failures is vast

its dumb internet e-peen but yes it's tactfully going "this neo-naz is good and important and we should not ban him, infact lets give them extra validatiion for being a nazi"

andinitially was used to say @marthastewert_host is actually the real martha stewart, not @marthastewart since you could register w/e. now its mostly dumb

it wasn't even supposed to be just noteworthy people. the idea was that anyone could get the checkmark by sending in their driver's license or w/e and then people know it's Really You tweeting.

that would be believable and fine except that twitter refuses to verify some people who want it despite them confirming their identity (*cough* lowtax) and also removes verifications as a punishment

so when they say "verification was never meant to be an endorsement, just a confirmation of identity" it's clearly horseshit, both in how people interpret it and also how twitter themselves use it
