It's not much when you a) have to split it 2 or 3 ways, and b) have to watch the VCs take home several times as much, when you did all the work.
My point is that there is a value judgement here. VCs are being overvalued, and founders are being undervalued. This serves to demoralize and demotivate the founders, ultimately hurting the value of the company. It doesn't need to be that way.
