I supposed these vested 120K of loans earns them a ticket to some lucrative financial return. These entrepreneurs put in serious hard work and time to get to the point of where they are. While these numbers are warranted, because these entreprenurs are visionary and hardworking, typical pursuants of the American dream, I think something is broken. I supposed Wall Street is broken, which explains its death spiral of greed in 2008. This also explains why there is very little venture-banked companies in the New York metro region. Why go to VC when Wall Street offers you more structure, less uncertainty (prior to 2008), and better pay. I think with banking falling with those respective salaries, VC activity will increase in the region. Less focus on short-term liquid transactions, more long term oriented strategic investments to benefit the growth of society... My 2cents.
