2009/10/6-22 [Academia/Berkeley/CSUA/Motd, Industry/Startup] UID:53431 Activity:moderate | 10/5 any UC berkeley students that had successful startups
in the past 15 years?
\_ all the Cal grads I know with MBAs are in VC or finance.
maybe they are just better at risk analysis... starting a company
is not a great way to make money!
\_ I'm a Cal grad with an MBA working in Finance (not High Finance).

I made some math errors I didn't feel like correcting. anyway...)
I work at a year old startup, 50 employees, pre-IPO (duh!), exit
strategy is to either become profitable company or get bought,
almost profitable but not quite, fast paced, lots of work,
everyone pulls weight, I just found out my non founder CEO makes

weeks? Don't know who yet, they won't tell us. What should I do
in preparation?
\_ How many in your group? Work on your resume. Start your job
search now. Don't wait to get axed. If you have, uh, "special
access", abuse it and read HR and Finance's email to see who is

2000/11/17-19 [Industry/Startup] UID:19812 Activity:low | 11/17 What are the implications (URL would be great) of being an officer
of a company? I'm VP Eng of a new startup, and I'm wondering how/why
I should push to be an officer.
\_ I don't know if you have vc funding yet, but _unless_ you are really
really really hip and profitable, VCs replace all the "O"s in a
startup after they give you money and move in their own O's.

requisite software and hardware, but only did the incorporation
paperwork about five months ago. I have their business plan and
they seem to have pretty good connections. The programmers are
all grad students and the others are MBA students and they seem

1999/9/9-10 [Industry/Startup] UID:16494 Activity:moderate | 9/9 I'm joining a startup that's going through their 3rd round of VC
funding and there's already about 100 employees. What should I
expect in terms of # of shares? What is common? And also, is it
ok for me to ask how many shares outstanding they have? E.g. if
they have 100 million shares and I get 10K, and the company is
bought out for $400 million, then it's not worth it for me.
