Most SaaS startups take time to get going, about two years according to saastr, so it might take awhile. [1]

But a lot of really bad founders have raised money during this bubble cycle. The VCs are screaming about the market changing behind closed doors. The founder where I work was recently pressured to fire the team and sell the company.

Make sure you look after yourself. Get your interview skills up and have a list of opportunities. Don’t overcommit to 50+ hour weeks. If they want to pay you 25% more than sure, but don’t fall for the overwork peer pressure by founders who have a 20-100x equity win over you.

Make your own personal assessment of the team, product, and market, and the likelihood of success. Recognize that founders “sell” their belief and my not be honest about issues. I’d probably try to stay to the one year mark and move if you don’t have a strong belief in the company, but be ready to be dropped at a moments notice.
