The move leaves Windsurf employees without equity payouts since it's structured as an "acquihire" rather than a full company purchase, potentially to avoid antitrust scrutiny. The deal highlights how AI startups can see billion-dollar valuations within just a few years, but also shows the risks of equity-heavy compensation packages.
