How many employees in the second company? Off rip, I’d say B definitely. Who cares about job title if you have a higher financial upside? And any startup that says they’ll IPO in 5 years is delusional. Even if that’s the case, you really think you’ll be there for half a decade? The other firm has a clear path to liquidity and a competitor to use as a benchmark. Go with the sure thing.
Company B has around 500 employees. I'd add for Company A from what I've heard they do have product market fit and will be getting another round of very funding soon to enter growth stage. I do believe Company A will IPO or get acquired within 3-5 years though.
If I were in your position and I didn’t have a family to support, I would go with option a. However, keep in mind that startups can go belly up and it’s not a great economy for startups right now. So there are some extra risks.
