bear_south··on Equidate's new stock market for private tech offers in-depth data on startups
to make explict, does each person get 1 share? so about 110 profit facebook and then 225 profit for tesla. As you can see from my profile i don't comment a lot here, but felt compelled as i personally was put off by the spammy nature.

YMMV.

Just friendly advice and also caution to others I guess. For a site that talks about having institutional investors and having one of the top legal firms in the world this mlm and internet riches type vibe is what I got. Again, you guys may be great, but this is very unprofessional / gimmicky in my opinion

went to site and got an im like this.. soahil prasad see you here so hopefully you can explain. Feels extremely shady. Obviously you are not letting me insantly make a 2500% return, but your instant help message says this... what kind of gimic? (or was system hacked... trying to give you benefit of the doubt!)

yep, sort of a reverse dunning-krueger effect
bear_south··on Ask HN: How do you find a good corp-to-corp tech recruiter?
Cool model, think roughly this makes sense. Can you give some idea of average fee. My guess is about $20k or 30% of starting salary, then with the reimbursement factors that you mention? Also, while they are in the 12 weeks i assume the startups they are helping / learning with building probably pay you total of $5-10k per 12 week session? If you can't share totally I get it, but there are multiple code schools i know in my area and may want to share some of these ideas with their leaders / founders that I know. Thanks
