Here's what isaacs writes in the NPM blog post (https://blog.npmjs.org/post/612764866888007680/next-phase-montage https://blog.npmjs.org/post/612764866888007680/next-phase-mo...). It doesn't seem like anyone on the NPM team did great financially from this: "I have a set of goals that I wrote down back then, and have shared openly with the team. ... 3. Get a big enough exit that I can quit my job and see what comes out of me a second time. 4. Share the rewards equitably with the people who got npm to where it is. ... On (3), well, I’m still working a jobby job, but I always knew that was a long shot, and “make npm a better package manager” is a job I enjoy. And as for (4), I’m proud of the deals that we’ve been able to negotiate for the team. It’s not a kajillion billion dollar 10x startup cinderella story, and we’ve taken our hits, but in the end we’ve done right by our community, team, and careers, and I’m extremely proud of what we’ve achieved."
