Well I mean a lot of that’s on you. You overworked yourself for some sort of self-gratification. You then paid money to the company for worthless stock in their company because you still somehow believed in them. I mean so many things here that you did wrong when you should have just accepted that startups often fail and the majority do and never go anywhere. And so at that point you just walk away and go find to the next thing.
I assume this is what happens when you exercise stock options and so it’s better to just look at them and think that they’re interesting and that’s about it
It’s at least scammy but I don’t see how it’s aboveboard at all. It was only like $200 so not worth the cost of finding out
I did spend like a decade trying startups in the hope of one making it, without any luck.

unless you’re a founder or an investor, you want the cash and the experience. stock options are diluted every time they do a funding round, because it means they are issuing new shares
