      MailChimp employees not getting equity is a big loss for the ATL ecosystem. Normally a $12B exit would create a huge pool of new angel investors who would help create the next wave of startups.

      Had a great all hands meeting and Q&A with employees today. Lots of important questions. We talked more about QuickBooks integration down the road, and how every employee will receive a cash transaction bonus from Mailchimp in addition to RSUs granted by Intuit when we close.

      Hard to tell how meaningful that is without numbers

      As would be with any equity deal as well right? Maybe we shouldn’t judge so harsh on then just because they do it different than the typical non-profitable VC backed company?

      It’s pretty easy to estimate the employee outcome of a typical VC deal of this size. I’ll be very surprised if these bonuses turn out to be anywhere close to what an option pool would pay out.

      Sure thing. But the whole company journey and how they ran it is totally different right? How can you even compare that? Maybe employees had a much better life for 12 years at mailchimp compared to crunch culture at VC big tech.

      And I’m playing to the classical controversial points here. But that’s kind of my point of what we shouldn’t do.

      Given what we know about the MailChimp culture, I’m willing to bet it wasn’t that nice 😅

          More like, if you have a hammer, everything is a nail. Plenty of start ups around with stock in lieu of market salary for people who want that. Multiple compensation and funding models optimize what founders and employees want - it’s a good thing.
