December 1, 1998
I've been VP of a startup for nearly five years. Our endeavors have been successful to the extent
our niche market will allow, however our current capitalization is badly in need of repair. I'm a
10% equity partner in the venture; I'm 35 with loads of technology experience and excellent
people skills. Should I move on with the hope of much greener financial pastures but the loss of
the equity opportunity?
If you are concerned about the company's success, you should definitely explore other
opportunities. You're in a fortunate position today considering the exponential growth in
technology. It may take patience to find the right opportunity, but if you have driven the success
of your current company, you will be extremely marketable within the start-up arena. If you are
looking to enter the already-established Fortune 500, you may be able to negotiate an equity
play.
