问 HN:隐瞒有关股权稀释的信息有多常见?
1 分•作者: nocaptable•6 个月前
我曾在一家初创公司经历了两次融资,公司发展势头良好。<p>最近,我向公司领导层询问了我的股权被稀释了多少,纯粹是为了财务规划。我估计我的股权被“正常程度”地稀释了,对此我没意见——我只是想知道具体数字。但让我惊讶的是,领导层给了一个模棱两可的答复。所以,我很好奇:<p> - 在发展到中期的初创公司中,这种做法有多常见?
- withholding this information的真正原因是什么?我理解公司可能希望对股权结构表保密,但员工的稀释比例似乎并不影响股权结构表的保密性,但对员工来说却非常重要。<p> 感谢您能提供的任何信息或见解。

I've been with a startup through two funding rounds, and growth has been very healthy.<p>I recently asked leadership how much I've been diluted, just for financial planning purposes. I assume I've been diluted "a normal amount" and am fine with that-- I just need to know the number. Instead I got a non-answer from leadership, which surprised me. So I'm curious:<p>- How common is this practice in mid-stage startups?
- What is the actual rationale for withholding this information? I get why companies may want to keep the cap table confidential, but an employee's dilution factor seems like the kind of thing that doesn't matter for cap table confidentiality, but matters a lot to the employee.<p>Thanks in advance for any color or perspective on this.
