Questions that come to mind..

If I do the math of taking the cash each time, do I end up close to what diluted options would provide, or more?

How many people do I know where options translated to sizeable cash, even after dilution?

Which statistic will I be a part of, where options have actionable worth, or little/nothing?

The questions above we're proposed to me by a founder who had taken funding and was diluted to the point where he realized his worth as a consultant/freelancer/contractor may have ended up ahead.
