I worked multiple years in an organization led by the founding team. Just dropping a note to say that the team is top-notch, and they are maniacal about listening to customer feedback.

They advocated for and implemented a strikingly similar product within the organization, and it was used for all deployments: development, test, staging, production, etc. The system was a crucial aspect of everyday development and extraordinarily helpful for working with cross-functional partners.

Like Sidekiq but for Python. Neat.

The order of magnitude is important. In your example it's a windfall. But considering the dilution with exits at 1b or 10b it's a different story - the exit will surely be millions.

The strategy should differ based on the role and company, as well as your years of experience and accomplishments. I doubt there's a one size fits all approach.

Yeah, they have sessions for culture fit that they call the "Googley" or "Googleyness" interview. You can find content on Google itself, of course.

Which side is behaving inappropriately? Hard to tell..

Riot is a good one! Awesome location and fun company to work for.

You got a user here, definitely need something like this.

Answering for @reiderrider, the bulk of life insurance is still sold face-to-face and purchased from an agent or agency local to the consumer.

Not only could big banks + financial institutions plug in our js to sell life insurance online (from quoting -> application -> signature & medical exam), but also smaller agents/agencies that do business locally could accept online apps. Currently, agents meet in person and/or have plenty of phone calls with a client to figure out what coverage they need and then they sell the policy.

With our product, agents can direct their clients to their website which will walk the consumer through the process.

The Stripe analogy makes sense because Stripe & PayPal make it so easy for companies to accept payments online via their HTML button/JS script, which is what we are trying to do here. They also (both cos) provide great dashboards to the consumer (an insurance agent/agency for us) to track their data (which is in the pipeline for us).
