I was a hired early to a startup (my hiring manager was the CEO) that's now public and worth $10B+ that you've heard of. It took them over 10 years to go public, and I would have done just as well putting my money in FAANG, but with lower risk and more liquidity.

Well to be fair 10+ years ago it’s hard to find too many dollar for dollar investments that beat MAAMA.

True! But it's crazy that the risk, successful startup didn't even beat established tech for returns.

It isn’t crazy, it’s that startups are just that bad of an investment when averaged out. You have better odds playing the lottery.
