Startups Worth Risking Your Career For
- dkhenry 14y agoI think most of those are past the "Risk your career over" stage. Most of those names are well known and past the we are going out of business tomorrow if we don't get outside funding stage. However if you do find a company its _always_ worth risking your career for. Don't let anyone tell you differently If your in a big safe corporation your missing out on both life and potential profit.

- malandrew 14y agoAny company past series A is not really a risk anymore. IIRC they have about a ~60% of having an exit that is not a loss once they reach series A. That's 4-6x better than for seed funded companies. Most of the companies on that list are in fact the opposite of risk. Most will actually add pedigree to your résumé because they probably already have stringent hiring practices that make sure they only hire the best talent, so if you join them you are likely to be identified as talented by others.
