Hilarious that the best case positive spin highlighted is 40 people cleared at least $1m, so $40m out of $2.4 billion and $240m funding. He's praising "look 2% of the payout went to people in the company".

Nevermind that $1m over ~4 years is approximately the same as the differential other public tech co's pay. ($150k + equity at YC co, $350k TC at G/Amzn/FB/Uber/etc.) So when they tell everyone they should work at YC co's, they're saying they're proud when in the absolute best case scenario you make just as much as at the public co's they rail against working for.

If you want to come across as genuine, directly say how much % of the payout went to employees that weren't the founders. They won't, because it's likely 3%, which correctly sounds horrible
