When Picking A Startup To Join, Focus On The Company (Not The Role)

Startups are really risky. And, if you are looking to join one, know going in you have a 9 in 10 chance that company won’t be in business within a couple years from now, and you’ll have to be looking for a new job again. Venture capitalists can get around these odds, by investing in ten companies, hoping one hits it big, with a portfolio driven mindset. Unfortunately, you as an employee, only get one “bite at the apple” at a time, since you cannot concurrently work for ten companies.
