Careful. The top venture investors are also disproportionately likely to back only companies with a clear argument for a billion dollar valuation. That argument is accompanied by commensurate risk. The VC doesn't care that the startup is far more likely than not to fail; failure is accounted for in their portfolio math. But you might!

Depending on the structure of your comp package, the interests of the top investors are not necessarily aligned with those of a software developer.
