I am also curious on founder stakes in SAAS companies Vs larger enterprise companies. My hunch was that that the customer acquisition cost (before it was paid back in say ~24 Months) are being financed by VCs instead of customers in the previous enterprise license worlds.

Since, 1) VCs are more sophisticated than the typical customers, 2) have more bargaining power - Are founders being diluted more in SAAS companies (Box.net) vs enterprise companies (e.g. Oracle)?
