Who pays when startup employees keep their equity?

JD Maturen, 2016/07/05, San Francisco, CA

As has been much discussed, stock options as used today are not a practical or reliable way of compensating employees of fast growing startups. With an often high strike price, a large tax burden on execution due to AMT, and a 90 day execution window after leaving the company many share options are left unexecuted.

There have been a variety of proposed modifications to how equity is distributed to address these issues for individual employees. However, there hasn't been much discussion of how these modifications will change overall ownership dynamics of startups. In this post we'll dive into the situation as it stands today where there is very near 100% equity loss when employees leave companies pre-exit and then we'll look at what would happen if there were instead a 0% loss rate.

What we'll see is that employees gain nearly 3-fold, while both founders and investors – particularly early investors – get dilute

2023 update

ℹ️ Please note this research is from 2016 when Opera has first added their browser "VPN", even before the "Chinese deal" was closed. They have since introduced some real VPN apps but this below is not about them.

🕵️ Some folks also like to use this article to show a proof that the Opera browser is a spyware or that Opera sells all your data to 3rd parties or something like that. This article here doesn't say anything like that.

When setting up (that's immediately when user enables it in settings) Opera VPN sends few API requests to https://api.surfeasy.com to obtain credentials and proxy IPs, see below, also see The Oprah Proxy.

The browser then talks to a proxy de0.opera-proxy.net (when VPN location is set to Germany), it's IP address can only be resolved from within Opera when VPN is on, it's 185.108.219.42 (or similar, see below). It's an HTTP/S proxy which requires auth.

One thing I wanted to ask, given your exprience in DDoS attacks. We are putting in place a DDoS mitigation strategy and finding a wide variability in pricing from different vendors.

Near as I can tell, the difference between the low end like CloudFlare's $200/mth plan and the $5K-$10K/mth vendors like Prolexic is the support offered for a layer 7 attack. Is that a reasonable summary?

It seems like all vendors offer a reasonable level of layer 3-4 filtering but that if there's a layer 7 attack the high end vendors have the sophisticated tools and methodology to help the customer figure out how to mitigate the attack.

If this perspective is reasonable, how susceptible you think a product like XXX is to a layer 7 attack? I'd hate to buy insurance we don't really need.

The difference is a lot in integration. CloudFlare is only really a CDN at the heart of it, so what you're paying for is that with some DDoS stuff built in. If an attacker gets wind of this, and finds out your origin and decides to
