WOULD YOU REGRET LEAVING BEFORE A MASSIVE EXIT?
Summary from the TLDR Founders newsletter
Jason Oakley left Verafin in 2015 for a friend's startup, walking away from stock options that became worth millions when the company sold to Nasdaq for $2.75 billion in 2021. When friends asked if he regretted missing out on life-changing money, he said no - learning and growing mattered more than waiting around for something that might never happen.
