    Sounds very insincere. No contracts, no pay, so, you basically worked for free?

      Very common among very early stage startups. I mean the guy who make Facebook’s graffiti was paid in stock worth $250m now. Besides she mentions when she came on board they didn’t even have a website. If its true I can easily see this happening

    I almost swam across the pacific ocean from the U.S. I almost touched Australia, but got tired and had to swim back.

    Hope Christine Matinez gets her share of what Pinterest owes her. So many women would get shafted by greedy men in the past. I saw this happen in mathematics research quite often… Women would have the ideas, greedy men would steal the ideas, publish mathematics results and never give the women credit… Hopefully this is a dying practice.

    Business 101, sign a contract. The verbal agreement only exists in ancient society.
