Based on the little I know about this, it probably beat being almost any employee. With $6 million invested, sold for $50 million, wouldn't you need more than a 2% stake to earn a million on the sale? Could someone more knowledgable break down how that $50 million was likely distributed, and what number employee you would have to be to get a million? (also what's the tax difference between the founders award and a million dollar startup exit)
