So some some companies like to tell the story about you can have your cake and eat it too,
在一些公司員工可以帶蛋糕吃
you can have, like, four day week, work weeks maybe if you're, if you're,
一周可以工作四天
Tim Ferris maybe you can have a 12-hour work week.
蒂姆·菲利斯可能一周只工作12小時
It's a really attractive idea and it does work in a particular instance.
聽起來很誘人，這只適用于你的公司特別小
Which is if you wanna like actually have a small business or go after a niche market.
或者你在瞄準(zhǔn)小眾市場，這些特殊情況適用
Then you're a small business entrepreneur.
那樣，你就是小本生意企業(yè)家了
That makes total sense.
這樣就講得通了
But as soon as you get past like two or three people uh,
但經(jīng)過只有兩三個員工的過程之后
you really need to step it up and, and be full time committed. Cool.
如果你想要擴(kuò)大規(guī)模，就要全身心投入工作。好的
So, this is the big one this is the, the one I hear the most especially like candidates applying to a Asana they tell me,
賺得多，權(quán)力大，這個理由我經(jīng)常聽到，尤其是在面試Asana新員工的時候
you know, I, I'd really like to work for, for a much smaller company, or start my own because.
他們會跟我講，我個人非常想換到一個小公司工作或者自己開一家公司
Then I have a much bigger slice of the pie,
這樣自己的收益多一點
I'll have much more impact on how that company does
自己能夠左右公司的發(fā)展
and I'll have more equity so I'll make more money as well.
股權(quán)多了，也能掙更多錢
So let's examine when this might be true.
我們看一下什么情況下，這種美夢才成真
So I'll explain these tables they're a little complex but
我來解釋一下這些表格，它們不太好理解
let's focus on the left first so these is, this is just explaining Dropbox and Facebook.
來看左邊第一個這說的就是Dropbox和Facebook現(xiàn)在的情況
These are their current valuations.
這是它們的現(xiàn)估價
And this is how much money you might make as employee number 100 coming into these companies.
這個數(shù)值是第一百位加入公司的員工現(xiàn)在會賺到的錢
Especially if you're like, an experience, a relatively experienced engineer, like,
尤其是對于專業(yè)經(jīng)驗豐富的員工，比方說高級工程師
you have five years of, of industry experience.
擁有超過五年的從業(yè)經(jīng)驗的話
You're pretty likely to have an offer that's around 10 basis points.
很可能你就會收到10個基點的期權(quán)
So if you joined DropBox a couple years ago, the upside you'd have already locked in.
因此如果你幾年前加入了DropBox，大家看
As about ten million, there's plenty more growth from there.
你已經(jīng)掙了1千萬美金，之后還會繼續(xù)增長
If you leave the company if you joined Facebook a couple years into its existence you made $200 million.
而如果你加入的是Facebook，你就已經(jīng)掙了2億美金
This is a huge number.
這個金額還是很龐大的
And if you, even if you joined Facebook as employee number 1,000.
而如果，即使你是加入Facebook的第一千位員工
So you joined it in like 2009 you still made $20 million.
比方說，在2009年加入，也已經(jīng)掙了2千萬美金了
That's a giant number.
這個金額，是非常龐大的
And that's how you should be benchmarking when you're thinking about what might I make as an entrepreneur.
當(dāng)大家思考作為企業(yè)家的收入時，這些可以作為參考
So moving over to the table on the right uh, these are two theoretical companies you might start.
我們來看右邊，假設(shè)這是大家的兩個創(chuàng)業(yè)方案
So Uber for Pet Sitting, pretty good idea.
一個是做寵物服務(wù)，這個想法不錯
If you're, if you're really well suited to this,
如果大家發(fā)展順利
you might have, uh, a really good shot at building a $100 million company.
這家公司的價值很可能達(dá)到1億美金
And then your share of that company is pretty likely to be about 10%.
作為創(chuàng)始人，你的股權(quán)可能有10%
That certainly fluctuates.
當(dāng)然，這個數(shù)值會有所差異
Some founders have a lot more than this, some have a lot less.
有的創(chuàng)始人多一點，有的少一點
But after multiple rounds of dilution multiple rounds of option table, option pool creation,
經(jīng)過幾輪股權(quán)稀釋或者增發(fā)股票之后
you're pretty likely to end up about here.
大家手里的股份可能就剩這么多了
If you have more than this,
如果你手里的股權(quán)比這多
I recommend Sam's post on like the equity split between founders and employees.
大家可以去讀一下Sam關(guān)于創(chuàng)辦人和員工之間股權(quán)分割的文章
You probably should be giving out more.
可能大家是需要交出一部分股權(quán)的
And then but so basically, if you're extremely confident about building this $100 million business,
但是總的說來，如果你對運營1億美元的公司非常有信心
which is a big ask it should go without saying that
相比于2009年的Facebook和2014年的Dropbox
you should have a lot more confidence than Facebook in 2009 or Dropbox in 2014 and you might,
你要比他們還有信心
for a start up that doesn't even exist yet.
雖然這還只是一個方案
