Why VCs aren’t Insanely Rich..

Disclaimer: I admire Jason Lemkin @jasonlk and his posts are amazing. I’ve learned some much and I’m humbled to write a follow up post on this topic.

So Jason mentioned in his post that VC’s ends up with personal effective ownership of 32%-40% on a “one company equivalent” basis. Here is a recap of the assumptions: 1.

שרי להו לצדיקיא לסגואי ברמאותא עם רמאי- על טייקונים ומה שבינהם

השבוע שוב עלו הטייקונים הישראלים לכותרות. הפעם לא קושרים להם כתרים ומפארים ומרוממים אותם בכיכר העיר. הפעם מעמידים אותם למשפט שדה מהיר וחורצים את דינם לסקילה. יטען הטוען, כי באמת יהיה זה פופליסטי לעשות כן, שכן ללא בעלי ההון- אין משק ישראלי מתקדם ואין תעשייה, שוק צרכני ושוק עבודה משוכלל. ואולם הטיפול הכוללני בבעלי ההון אכן איננו חג סביב שיח מקצועי וענייני- שיח שצריך לבחון את ההשלכות של ריסוקם של בעלי ההן, וכפועל יוצא של חברות מובילות במשק שאחראיות להעסקתם של אלפי עובדים. עולם היזמות טומן בחובו...
