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

by Larry Chiang on July 16, 2014

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.

Do not sign the non-compete. GET A LAWYER OUTSIDE OF SILICON VALLEY. There is a “Just In Time Checklist for a Fired Founder” https://whattheydontteachyouatstanfordbusinessschool.com/blog/2014/04/23/just-in-time-checklist-for-a-fired-founder/
