The problem is it doesn't solve the core issue. What's to stop an AI data center buying up all the startup's stock and future stock also.

If you're the one funding the startup you can just reject that

Doesn't that go against Microsoft's fiduciary responsibilities to shareholders to maximize profits? At the very least, it would be contentious among the shareholders. Leaving money on the table? This is the kind of thing would need a very brave (or cavalier) CEO to risk a personal lawsuit.

You don't have shareholders until you ipo. Startups have not ipoed.
