“I think there are some pieces missing from your calculations. What’s the value of the experience you’re going to get from building a company? And you’re underestimating the value of the relationships you’re going to build, and the mentorship you’ll have through our investor network.

I’m confident this is the best move you can make for your career.” -- Kyle (CEO)
If I had $1 for every time I heard that about a startup, I'd actually have a lot of real money instead of the worthless monopoly "money" a company offers you as equity. At least you didn't get common stock so it could be diluted to nothing later when the VCs and angels come in and eat up the company.
