Why? vs seed or series A
-
Chance of continued operations/growth/success is lower for seed/series A. Series B+ still has soooo much room for growth and will present lots of learning opportunities
-
Thanks! I agree, although the points are partially mitigated by equity upside if you join a seed-stage co. I often hear in podcasts etc, they’ll ask a speaker what # employee they were at an early stage co as a badge of honor. What are your thoughts on that?
-
If you join a seed stage co *that survives*
-
Very true. Of course, as a recent grad and 22 year old I’m (admittedly) overconfident in my ability to pick one that survives. I think it comes with the territory haha. Thanks Brenner
-
Hence the suggestion to “play it safe” (at least at first) at a series B+
No problem!

Don't you recommend own startup in any condition?

Learn best practice/scale at FANG and join series B+ at senior/exec level? The inverse is generally challenging unless you lead a team during hypergrowth

is this mostly due to the risk of failure with early companies? Or do you also think that the skills you learn as an early employee in a company that goes from seed to series B are not really valuable as an exec?

And if you want to learn how not to run a business join a company that just finished their first seed round
