To solve this problem, on Thursday night, the venture capital firm Y Combinator, a meeting will be held in
the beginning of the meeting will
, Paul Graham made a keynote speech. He talked about how to choose the work should start-up company,cufflinks paul smith, Techcrunch has the details.
I think he put it very enlightening, as always, a high level. Now, I spoke to sort out his main points.
I. Why start-ups?
In general, you work for others, nothing more than two purposes: for the money (money), or to the work itself to bring you the value and fun (fun). Under normal circumstances,mbt online, your motivation should be to pursue the maximization of both.
start-up companies will be able to meet your requirements exactly, and has a good Because to work in a start, there is great fun, and can make a lot of money. Of course, the premise is that you should select the right company.
Second, do you have for start-ups?
not everyone is suitable for small companies, some big companies to behave like a stable life. You must ask yourself, start-up companies operating mode ---- initiative, high load, versatile, volatile type ---- you can accept it?
a reliable method to judge is to see the creative work. If you think, generate ideas and make your (or the views and opinions), is part of the job. So, you are probably suitable for start-ups. If you feel in the work process, no need to put forward their ideas / views / opinion, then you may be more suitable for large corporate culture. Links I used an article
Third, how to choose the start-up companies?
a cruel fact is that over 90% of startups fail. Therefore, it is important to choose the right company. However, in this respect there is no uniform effective method, a large element of luck. You can observe the company founder, to determine likelihood of success of the company. Are more likely to make good quality products.
four, when a startup company?
Even if you join a successful start-up companies, does not guarantee you can earn big money, because it depends on when you join. Basically, adding the sooner, the greater the return, and is a geometric type of increase. Start-up company has developed very rapidly, if you decided to join, do not hesitate, or may miss a lot of money.
2006 年, Yahoo! want to buy Facebook, which offer one billion U.S. dollars. Yahoo! hesitated for three months, agreed. But then Facebook, we value has risen to $ 2,000,000,new air jordan shoes,000, Yahoo! no willing to buy. (June 2010 estimates, Facebook market value of more than 25 billion U.S. dollars.)
as long as the start-up companies are undervalued, are suitable for the added time. However, in general, which always occurs in the company has not issued when the IPO market.
V. How do you return?
If you want to make big money from the start-up companies, mainly relies not on salary, but your shares.
If you are an employee, when added, founder of the company, only one person, then you might even get 50% of the shares. Since then, the proportion of shares began to rapidly decline. If the company has two founders, there is an angel investor, they are after you may be able to get 5-10% of the shares. If the company started to recruit the first batch of important positions, you joined, you may be able to get more than 1% of the shares. Wait until the companies listed, you then add, then you have not got a lot of shares.
