[_delirium]

Another way of thinking of it is that doing things to maximize success is far more important than what percentage of a hypothetical future success you get: 10% of billions is much better than 50% of millions, which is better than 90% of nothing. So really the percentage only matters insofar as its psychological impact might influence chances of success.

> 10% of billions is much better than 50% of millions

In a VC startup? Sure. In a lifestyle business, I'd rather get a 99% chance of millions (and a fun place to work.)

I believe _delirium was talking in terms of % ownership, not % chance of success.
