That's a good metric... but often investors have more information on the start-up that potential employees. This is the purpose of asking your own questions about the company in interviews... but I think there will always be more information asymmetry for potential employees than for potential investors. Also investors can spread risks in ways that employees can't. Depending on your risk tolerance this may also change your judgements. However, if you think its a bad investment, then you certainly shouldn't work there.
