What do you want from a startup?

I see so many folks complaining about status quo around where they work. Very curious to understand what are your expectations from a startup and the founders. This may help us get what we want from startup founders here.

In the comment, highlight what you want and what you're willing to give.

  • Market and above pay depending on funding
  • RSUs, not your toilet paper ESOPs
  • this is a far cry but founders that actually listen to employees and evaluate ideas basis logic
  • PMF or founder that aggressively chases till it's there. Then directions for departments/leads and expectations clearly communicated to employees
  • get everyone onboard the problem/vision
  • Some sort of hybrid work setup with trips and team building activities
  • MacBooks or quality laptops that compliment instead of bottleneck

Even RSUs are prone to disproportionate dilution tactics that I've seen play out with many folks. Startup equity getting liquidated is a rarer event than most people think.

Great list, many funded startups are vanity projects by rich, nepotistic kids building the n-th copy of a product, who find it easy to raise funds because of their daddy's network - I think expecting them to be logical, empathetic, open to ideas and debate and not narcissistic is probably expecting a bit too much.

Timely salaries. Not underpaying. Having good work culture, founders should be emphatic. That's all

Did you mean 'empathetic'? Emphatic toh hote hain par empathy kaafi lacking hoti hai founders mein, bahot self obsessed hote hain.

I'd choose a startup whose mission I like and challenging projects. Happy to spend whatever time that's required to see it through.
