It says 4 in there, that's the figure Vince will probably be referring to.
4 years is missing a few of your kid's birthdays. 10 is missing most of them.
Or if you're in your 20s, 4 years is missing out on some great life experiences in your prime. 10 is missing out on all of them.

- joncalhoun 12y agoYou don't need to exit to stop missing out on your family life. Some people may choose to focus exclusively on work, but there are plenty of founders who have a life outside of work long before an exit/ipo event.
