Consideration for the longer term is completely _not_ the point of a speculatively financed startup. The idea is to convince enough Series B investors, or an underwriting bank that will float your IPO, that you have a sure thing in hand, that you've identified a choke point in the market, and your firm will be able to extract gigantic rents for an extended period by squeezing that choke point. The long term is often not long. But if you, with founder's stock, can get out clean before your brilliant strategy is revealed as a moronic fa=E7ade, you've met your victory condition. And if you don't? Practice blaming other people for your failure and try, try again.
