Street Smart Founder, Silicon Valley Parachute, Post Getting Fired By VC

By Larry Chiang

Treat this as a sequel to WHAT COLOR IS YOUR PARACHUTE.

“Larry Chiang Play #9″ = The Silicon Valley parachute you’re going to need because you were just fired from your VC funded startup.

– Team up w an engineer founder who has been fired before
– jettison with money, contacts and – PRESERVE CAREER MOMENTUM
– did the board fire you properly
– did you retain counsel
– did you get counsel that checks your counsel.
– do you have a new board
– do you have a plan to take 2-9 employees with you
– do you have a plan to take half the revenue even if no one leaves with you

You better send “Larry Chiang Play #9” to uiuc boyfriend cuz he’s getting canned…,
– losing all their sweat equity
– getting baited into taking an accelerated vesting (plot spoiler, it’s useless cuz they’re just gonna recap)
– if the severance package is sub 100k, don’t take it.
