This is a good 'best-case' example that anyone could hope for, and like you say - you probably need to be one of first few engineering hires to have a shot at this type of outcome.

Yea I think this is a top 0.1% survivorship bias. Hitting 2 startup lotteries in a row at that kind of exit. Kudos.

I bet this goes the other way, especially at the exec level. That is, the best indicator of startup success is past startup success. Certainly funding is easier, building the team is easier, and the emotional decision making is easier.

The phrase serial entrepreneur is often used.

Shouldn't be this more like 0.01%? Two startups as an early employee and hitting almost 50M. Wow. just wow.

The problem with your assumption is that you think everyone is equally poorly skilled in choosing startups to join.

[preseedthrwwy]

absolutely agree - wasn't trying to give the indication that I think my situation is a likely outcome

[caenorst]

And it's not 100% luck neither, as one of the first employee you probably participated to the success of those companies! Kudos to you!

What is next for you?!
