This is a short write-up on things that I wish I'd known and considered before joining a private company (aka startup, aka unicorn in some cases). I'm not trying to make the case that you should never join a private company, but the power imbalance between founder and employee is extreme, and that potential candidates would

##VGG16 model for Keras
This is the Keras model of the 16-layer network used by the VGG team in the ILSVRC-2014 competition.
It has been obtained by directly converting the Caffe model provived by the authors.
Details about the network architecture can be found in the following arXiv paper:

When using directives, you often need to pass parameters to the directive. This can be done in several ways. The first 3 can be used whether scope is true or false. This is still a WIP, so validate for yourself.
Raw Attribute Strings
