The Complete Startup Equity Guide: what every startup founder & employee must know

Cap tables, dilution, payout waterfalls, and tools to see what your ownership is really worth

Startups can make employees millionaires. They can also leave them with nothing.

Windsurf is the latest example. They almost sold to OpenAI for 3B. The deal collapsed. Google licensed the tech and hired a few key people for 2.4B. Founders and investors walked away with money. Most of the 250 employees walked away with zero.

On the other side, Nvidia’s rise has made most of its early employees millionaires.

The difference is not luck. It is ownership.

That’s why I built this week’s Product Market Fit pack: a complete equity ownership guide to help you see your real slice and know when it actually pays.
