Comment on Water Front Apt. in San Mateo will trade for equity in Y Combinator startupparent

Convertible debt is a bad deal for the investor. Put your money up now but you don't get equity till later, after the cash and time have allowed for valuation growth?

Capped is better but I'm still less excited. You still have to negotiate terms and whatnot (what if there's an early acquisition, do I just get paid back? Or do I get converted? At what price? etc.)
