In that specific example, I'd say it's shitty, yeah. I haven't seen too many cases of a founder getting that 15mm up front though. That's comically high for a sign-on and even in an earn-out scenario that's on the high side.

You said seven figures though; if Founder A was getting like, two or three, then nah, probably not.
