That presupposes that a successful startup results in (the founders at least) becoming wealthy.  That&#x27;s a real stretch - unless you define it as &quot;success&quot;.  In that case, 10% is way, way too high.<p>If wealth is what you primarily want, you&#x27;re probably in the wrong game anyway - and much more likely to fail than someone who wants to solve a problem.
