Starting a startup at 25, 35, or 45 is not the same decision

Starting a startup at different ages leads to very different financial outcomes, even with the same exit. I modeled a FAANG engineer’s career using real compensation data and conservative assumptions. The post includes some detailed scenarios on how a "weak exit" (the most common outcome) affects retirement age and net worth trajectory.
