Yes, even when you win that lotto, it is not as much as you may imagine. I rode the SendGrid/Twilio rocket; engineer 12 at SendGrid. IPO and acquisition later, I’m still a decade out on even thinking of being able to retire or be financially independent. Don’t get me wrong, things are good. But early equity in a multi billion dollar company and I’m still having to work :)
- ZephyrBlu 5y agoThis doesn't add up to me. According to an article on Twilio the acquisition was ~$3B. Even 0.01% equity is 300k. Not "time to retire" money, but still a good chunk of change. Yet you're a decade out of even thinking about retirement?!
- zebnyc 5y ago300k is not much money in SF Bay area. If you have a mortgage / looking for a new home, then homes can go upwards of 2 million. I am assuming that GP means they have not hit their target net worth to FATFire.
