About 90% of all startups fail according to Forbes. So working for a startup is extremely risky especially when you have a family to provide for.
That’s why startups are willing to offer very generous terms even for remote international team members.

The average time an employee spends in a company is about 2.5 years. How can you ensure the startup you are hired to work for doesn’t fail within your estimate 2.5-year term with them?

The way I do it, I make sure the startup is funded, has got existing user-base, and is making at least as much revenue to at least cover its own operational spendings. Here in my channel I try to specify if startup are funded.

What does funding mean for a startup? Right, it means more open positions, more resources for marketing, design and more chance for them to survive. So if you decide to go for a job at a startup, make sure they have been funded and have got money to maintain the work on their work for at least 2-3 upcoming years.

And today is for one of this kind of startups - Sourcegraph. They are a late-stage startup and they were $125M Series D on $2.6B valuation for universal code search tool last summer. I somehow missed their series D announcement but I’m glad I found it now because they are still hiring and they have got existing team members in St.Petersburg, Russia too.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you’ve got any questions.
