He's not saying that. He's arguing that, were Tesla not to take the patents, there was a good chance one of the established auto makers would have taken them. This would have been the problem, as the entrenched players probably would have used the patents to stifle innovation in order to maintain dominance.

It does have an impact. If the update is included pre-investment, it won't have a noticeable impact on the economic outcome, but if it is not done pre-funding, it will. You can simulate this by toggling between "pre" and "post" at the bottom.

Note that we are changing it so that the pre-investment equity stake and option pool can't add up to > 100%. Thanks for the feedback!

sdpurtill | 13 years ago | on: Founder's Fund Transparent Term Sheet

I assume you mean the existing option pool. Try changing the pool update to "post" (the radio button at the bottom) and you will see the outcomes change.

Hypothetically, you could own 100% of your company and have an option pool of x% and never allocate it to anyone, leaving you with full ownership of the company.

Longtime HN member here. We created this project at Founders Fund over the last month and a half to give startup founders and employees an idea of the economic ramifications that follow from a term sheet. We have thoroughly vetted the underying model from some of the top attorneys in the valley and hope this can become a go-to for those raising money.

All comments and questions are welcome, I'll be here all day.

I know for a fact that Stanford CS majors are making on average $80,000 per annum upon graduating from the undergrad program. A document circulating the CS mailing lists a while ago had all the figures. Note that despite the increasing difficulty to dismiss its allure, I am not a CS major.
