Pretty sure 7 figures would be a massive failure in that case
Zuckerberg had 28% of Facebook at IPO but the other 4 founders had far less of a stake. Sub 10% of 1 billion is 7 figures.
8 figures, not 7
Except you also take a pay cut for several of those years so your benefit from a billion dollar IPO over non startup really can be 6 figures if you’re not the CEO.
Though obviously if the unicorn is worth 20B things look vastly better even with a 2% stake.
