Startup with series A funding(18 million USD ) vs. a startup with unicorn status in freight industry ?
1) first company - startup in real estate domain. Base - 160k. Sign on 10k. SFO. 14000 shares(0.85 cents per share) company valuation ~78 million. Series b coming soon. At least said by VP or product. They started company in 2014. Revenue this year will be 12 million and next year 24 million. 2) second company - in freight industry. Unicorn startup. Raised 3 digit millions USD. Super growth on their revenue. Base - 155k. Sign on 10k.bay area again. 10000 shares. May IPO 3+ years later. What are your thoughts? Never worked for FAANG, but onsites and phone interviews scheduled .both companies do web dev and use ML/AI.... Assuming no offer from FAANG, which one I should take? Why?
Yea, I would take Flexport
Yeah, take flexport
Flexport
Question: Is Flexport preferable to FAANG? Will the shares they give you compensate for the lower salary + equity?
I don’t think anything will be comparable to FAANG. You will have to think about non monetary things such as more ownership/impact/job satisfaction.
Actually OP we have raised 4 digit millions.
What’s your yoe? For no 2, stocks are priced at what $ and valuation ?
@harigur I'm curious what your YOE is, for my own research purposes!
Is #2, flexport? It'd take that over a real estate startup. Real estate as an industry is slow and may be down for the next few years.
