<prompt> Human: I often see start ups bought out for huge amounts, however I was wondering in say a tech startup with 8 essential employees, how does compensation work. If Google Ventures buys out a new start up Typically what percentage of the buyout is in Google stocks, how restricted are those stockscovenants and what is the cashliquid compensation typically available. So if GV bought out a VR start up for 200 million, how much liquid initial cash would the founders or company typically see from the 200 mill?  <response>: There is no general rule it all depends on what is negotiated. In general if a company wants to buy another company theyll contact them and if they are interested that company will work with their lawyers to negotiate a deal, pretty much all of the terms are up for negotiation.
