Hypothetically speaking, a startup gets some rounds of investment from VCs, operates for a few years, and run out of runway. What do these final months look like? Do the investors try to get their money back?

    I agree. As well as getting out a few applications now- there’s always a chance when things go to hell, the stink comes off on you.

    If the long term hires are leaving that’s a good sign it’s time to look elsewhere

      Can you elaborate on your stink comment? Do you mean just being someone who was laid off (which I personally don’t have an issue with) or something else?

        Having worked for a shitty company like Theranos or whatever is not great for your resume. You want people to read your resume before the company name is tainted by bad press.
