Can you provide a list of successful or long-term viable startups that you feel were the products of parental wealth transfer?
Can you provide a single example of an acqui-hire that you believe --- with any evidence at all --- to have been the result of a favor to the parents of the founders of that company?
I feel like I talk to a lot of people at VC-backed startups managing boards --- in addition to having founded such a company many moons ago --- and while I've heard a lot of horror stories, one story I've never heard is the one where a board seat was given away as quid-pro-quo. Can you help me understand your claim more clearly, for instance with an example?
