At the point where a startup is being valued at 800M (and therefore raising rounds of ~100M?) are the founders still making 150k? At this point, wouldn't your business have hundreds of employees? Also IIUC startup equity value (for tax purposes) is typically based on the startup's 409(a) price, which I think is pretty different from investor valuations, since investors get preferred stock (among other differences)

Yes. > At this point, wouldn't your business have hundreds of employees? Also yes. Why does this imply you'd be making more than $150k? In most places outside of SV, $150k is enough to qualify as "Affluent".
