I agree in principle that start up employees can be incentivized better than the usual wage or salary slave.

There is always a big butt, though.

Non-capital investors almost always get shares of a lower class that can be denied a share of any future revenue from a sale of the company or god forbid they get real revenue.

These term “Hollywood accounting” exists for a reason and skepticism about the real value of lower class shares is very valid.
