One question though, how do you determine the conversion percentage on the equity-like protection you mentioned in the event of a change in control before a funding event? It would seem that it needs to be a percentage (possibly with a fixed minimum), since you don\'t want a fixed upside." );

As a pilot, I think you would have an interesting perpective on hotels and potentially a trusted voice on the subject matter. Furthermore, since you work for Southwest which has a strong brand for outstanding customer service, I\'d expect your filter on hotel service quality would be high. That is, as a reader I\'m assuming you\'d apply the same high standards of customer service <br><br>Posts like these not only help Southwest customers find great places to go when they\'re traveling where they can expect a similar service experience to that of Southwest ... they will also serve to reinforce Southwest\'s brand image. BTW - the tag on this should include restaurant, san sandiego or something like that.<br><br>I would love to see more of these types of posts .... particularly if you can expand on your overall service experience at the hotel, restaurant, etc. and provide an honest critique on the positives and negatives. We expect that of Southwest!<br><br>I\'m curious to see how long it takes for Starwood to comment here or trackback." );

document.write( "                <span class=\"comment\"> Brad,<br>Thanks for adding to this discussion. I asked this of Josh as well, but wanted to get your thought as well. In the event of going with the convertible note structure, how does one figure out the conversion price for the event where the startup is acquired before a funding event? It seems this needs to be for a percentage of the deal or company (fully diluted) so as to not cap upside potential. However, wouldn\'t this just imply a valuation (that may and likely will be different from the valuation that the investors will convert into at the funding event). It seems the differences in those valuations would be tough to reconcile and that an actual price is theoretically being set on the seed round. Thus, the main benefit of the convertible debt path is simplicity and reduced legal cost." );
