I think 1/100 is the order of magnitude of success probability for a YC-backed startup… For others you’d be tending even closer to zero.

- MacsHeadroom 4y agoThe likelihood of a startup being around at 10 years is about 30% for statups generally after the third year. But around 90% don't make it beyond their third birthday. So, joining a 3+ year old start-up is actually fairly safe. The odds of "success" in terms of your role still being needed 5+ years away is as good, if not better, than it is at any big corp. Plus your work is way more likely to have a far more immediate and obvious impact on the business and on customers during that time.
