Be a little wary of the offer to be taken care of if the company gets "apple big" (ie, becomes the most valuable company in history). 0.01% of "apple big" is $50 million. On the other hand, few startups have an exit of $500 million, and 0.01% of $500 million is $50,000. Which might help you take good care of your dog but you'd hardly be "well taken care of". It sounds like you're in a great spot and you'll learn a lot. Everything is your story says "delay school and stick around", except for the promise about "apple big" which sounds deceptive.
