Do startup founders invest in public markets?

I know this doesn't fall in the VC category but since u guys have the most connections with CEOs and founders of startups, I'm eager to ask. I'm sure the majority of founders would be busting their ass off for business growth but let's say this is a founder of a 500m+ company.
