Imagine landing a senior role at the world’s most valuable company straight out of culinary school, or after running a cocktail bar.

Your paycheck? Over a million dollars a year.

Picture this:

A venture capitalist (VC) sits down with a big-time Wall Street banker who handles IPOs.

The VC wants to know what the public markets are looking for. With that information, he’ll be able to invest — early, cheaply — in private startups that could become blockbuster IPOs.

It’s repeated like gospel in boardrooms and podcasts. The message is clear: Most startups will flame out, taking your capital with them.

But for smart investors, what if this “common wisdom” is more myth than reality?
