>So, what about those 10 million Euros? If MagicalUnicorn were your company, would you as a founder personally receive that sweet cash when your company gets VC funding? Nope.

If the company receives 10 millions for 50% of the shares and it becomes valued at 100 millions, you can sell the other 50 % of the shares for 50 millions and let the venture capitalists deal with the business while you enjoy cocktails at the beach.
