You are getting equity either way, both are likely to appreciate, but one is likely to be more liquid. So you're trading liquidity for a higher return.
- DoughnutHole 3y ago> both are likely to appreciate More than half of all startups fail within the first 10 years. They’re not just less liquid, they never experience a liquidity event at all. That equity is effectively $0. The odds of any given big company going bust are dramatically lower than that. Their equity might depreciate but it’ll at least be worth something.
- VirusNewbie 3y agoOh I was more thinking late stage companies, but you are correct.
