Palantir cofounder @JTLonsdale on giving equity to employees:
“We had a table that showed— here’s what your shares would be worth if we get to $5B.”
“People were like, ‘Joe, you can’t say we’ll be worth $5B. It’s too unrealistic.’”
“Now all my friends are too rich to work.”

Most of my time is spent with multi-gen owners of mid-large Midwestern businesses (manufacturing, trucking, construction)... So what are those conversations pointing to for 2021? Here's what we expect to see: medium.com/heartland-venture…
