Given that most employees are underpaid at very-early stage startups with stock options it seems deliberate fraud is not common at all. Besides monetary compensation the "have a failed startup in the CV" argument doesn't seem a big draw either.

I don't see how VC funding is being syphoned away by fraudsters at all. Syphoned away by incompetence yes, not deliberate fraud.
