"We fired the CEO for being too profit-driven" is a terrible message to send to your employees when you've lured them in with $1m comp packages that mostly consist of "Profit Participation Units" that are only worth anything when you actually make money.

Maybe the executive management shouldn't have used "Profit Participation Units" to attract staff to join a non-profit organisation.

Seems like a way to put the incentives and motivations of the staff at odds with the charter of the organisation.

...unless those engineers are happy with fat salaries and understand that startup equity should be valued at zero.
