One backfire tied to this particular instance is that readers might question why the startup owner is working on something completely irrelevant to the startup. Company owners should consider what they want associated with their name and only associate such material. | |

Would some reader of the paper think less of the firm Y because it is the author's affiliation? Will someone Googling for firm Y and finding it as an affiliation on the paper think negatively of Y? | |
