the best advice I can offer is to join a team that has deep pockets. the biggest reason my company succeeded is that they had cash to burn. sure, they were smart. they moved quickly, they dropped failing products instead of holding on to them. they made consistently good decisions. but they also were able to sink millions into the company's products and promotion thereof without going under for years, long enough to stumble upon a hugely profitable model.

no idea how to assess the size of a company's pockets. maybe one that has a founder who has already had a successful exit. every other attribute of a company is basically fortune telling.
