Every startup ever is willing to give a ton of equity and tell you it'll be worth a shit ton of money once they IPO. But how often does it actually happen? It feels like more often than not, they either go under or get bought out, and all those RSU's end up just being a cool thing you got to brag to your friends about when you started the job.
Heard a rumor recently that my company is announcing their IPO date this week. Beyond pumped for this if it is actually true. The last several all-hands meetings they've just been saying "soon".
Anyone else been at a company that actually ended up IPO'ing and having shares worth real money? Did you sell them at their vest date or hold them?
