I've got about 15 years of experience at 3 startups, two with Director/VP roles. Two were acquired, and one reached it's 15 birthday after only having a seed round. All were fairly small. Net benefit to me from options is a $500 long term capital loss. The main benefit was experience (and that is a very valuable benefit!) and, eventually, retention cash from an acquiring company.
- lonelappde 7y agoI'm curious how big were the eng teams at the two companies upthread from this comment. So many startups have CTOs of 5 person eng teams.
- mharroun 7y agoIve lead teams in the 15-25 person range in companies as small as 50 and as large as 300.
