While some will argue that this means that the entrepreneur is "focused," I believe plans like EB give startup founders a way to divsersify their holdings. This is healthy and useful.

Curious how they define "mid- to late-stage" for this exercise, or is it more a product of which companies are out there, hot, interested, and willing to give up a slice. By the way, I know of one company that's out there, hot, interested and might be willing to give up a slice. Plus, a guy named Davey in charge -- well, can't be all bad. If he had to put up with references to Lutheran Claymation programs during college, he's my new best friend. Very very clever concept.

He is a class act and I can imagine his personal touch is a factor in getting quality companies on board. When my startup reaches the right stage I will be going to Davey to help me secure my financial future, so that my family can still eat in the event of my effort falling short.
