Not to be a jerk, but talk is cheap. What'd the compensation/exit for the nonfounding members of the team look like during the acquisition?

Totally fair. We're really proud about this part :) But given the confidentiality requirements we're under, I can't say.

I can say that Paribus has been FAR more generous and collegiate with equity than early stage companies we know. To give a sense, many early employees could be in a position to fund their own seed/pre-seed rounds in their future businesses on the exit/compensation, if they so choose. The full team is staying on.
