Re: Slowing Down
Most, if not all, startups lose tons of money in the beginning. I bet the likes of Amazon, etc, did too. I'm talking about the rocket ship ride that at least lets the average employee make something off their time spent there (not talking about founders and execs, who almost always make something regardless if the company is successful or not) in the form of an IPO or acquisition.
The trick is to get off the rocket before it crashes and burns, because so many do in the form of horrific earnings reports which tank the stock and leave people empty handed (again, except for founders and execs, whom always seem to land on their feet).
