Got official offer to exit (my SM2 year) for AI-native services firm startup for leadership role as VP, AI Strategy & Deployment and c-suite trajectory (CPO or COO).

225k base, 75k annual bonus, 30k shares at .3% ownership. Reporting to co-founder CCO. 8 months in, ~35 employees (60 offshore), profitable last quarter, official open AI service partner. Founder-funded.

Thoughts on offer? See more on my current situation in comments.

My current role is ~260k base, ~140k bonus. If I were to say 4 years, TC grows up to ~500k.

Seeking more of a spark at work, inspiration, and ownership. Offer is no travel required and remote, with Boston presence. For me, best of both worlds. At the same time, will also be planning for wedding in 1 year and family planning within 2 years. New offer is 3 weeks PTO and no family leave plan at the moment.

I’m genuinely excited but also scared to take the leap into startup. Would love thoughts from others who left for startup / or decided not to!

Additional 400-500k per year

They’re early stage — about $25M in revenue right now, profitable, growing really fast. Current valuation is probably around $60-70M based on the share price they gave me. But the bet is that they exit at $350M or more in 3-5 years. Founder sold his first cloud services company with similar outcome.

What other types of roles do they need filled?

What kind of backgrounds would be competitive for these roles? Is it remote but have to be based in Boston?

Oh and take the offer

Ty! I sign the offer tomorrow!
