I need to understand things like:

  1. how vesting works (and what that means if you leave/get fired before the vesting period)

  2. Prefered vs common stock in a buyout situation

  3. How stock options work

  4. Good dilution vs bad dilution and what that means when I have a N% equity stake
etc.

This is, "As a co-founder/CTO in a startup" not "as a founder I want to give equity away to bring on money/a cofounder/whatever"
