You're investing in a startup. How do you handle founders reluctant to offer equity to crucial team members?
Investing in startups is as much about the people as it is about the product. As a venture capitalist, you're not just buying into an idea; you're backing a team. But what happens when founders are reluctant to offer equity to crucial team members?

It's essential to address this concern head-on, ensuring that key players are appropriately incentivized to drive the startup's growth.
