This is pretty spot on. I was on the receiving end of this and it’s incredibly challenging mentally to work hard to give away 40% to someone that just split. The comment about not being able to raise money is accurate as well.

Sell your stake for a fair value and wish the new owner luck. You could keep a few percent of stock but not enough to deter potential investors.



It what sense is this "given away", not "earned"?
