If a company prematurely captures their upside by raising an excessive amount of capital they create a scenario for new employees where they participate in the upside only after the desired (10x) multiple is realised on the prior raise.


Except if a company is inefficient, the founders may find a way to get what they want without waiting for that 10x to realize. I'm not sure though why the investors are seemingly OK with that.
