This is a good 'best-case' example that anyone could hope for, and like you say - you probably need to be one of first few engineering hires to have a shot at this type of outcome.
- quokkafriend 5y agoYea I think this is a top 0.1% survivorship bias. Hitting 2 startup lotteries in a row at that kind of exit. Kudos.
- devnulll 5y agoI bet this goes the other way, especially at the exec level. That is, the best indicator of startup success is past startup success. Certainly funding is easier, building the team is easier, and the emotional decision making is easier. The phrase serial entrepreneur is often used.
- glassconclusion 5y agoShouldn't be this more like 0.01%? Two startups as an early employee and hitting almost 50M. Wow. just wow.
- bloodyplonker22 5y agoThe problem with your assumption is that you think everyone is equally poorly skilled in choosing startups to join.
- preseedthrwwy 5y agoabsolutely agree - wasn't trying to give the indication that I think my situation is a likely outcome
- quokkafriend 5y agoWhat is next for you?!
- caenorst 5y agoAnd it's not 100% luck neither, as one of the first employee you probably participated to the success of those companies! Kudos to you!
