Wrote whole ad tech platform and roped in the advertisers/publishers with my sales skill then received 5M payout got kicked off the company.
After that they hired sales guys from big companies because they had enough cashflow going.
I don't really regret it but he could have given me atleast 10% equity.
I didn't know that the project will ever end up doing multi million dollar business. I couldn't see it coming.
But I did whatever tasks of sales/coding/customer service were demanded from me.
And the worst part? My girlfriend left me for him because she met him at a party and got impressed by his Noveu rich lifestyle and a new supercar.
- iamtoorobbed 8y agoSame thing happened to me. The founder was a business major, knew nothing about tech but was Street smart and contacts with lawyers. I developed an advertising tracking platform, similar to Voluum.com But founder kicked me out and now they do roughly 10M sales from ad agencies. He was even blogging about it how he did corporate Takeover and considered himself supersmart about this move. He told me see pal, you are not my enemy but in life you only get on shot, either you can be loser or a winner, and you know what I'll choose.
