This is the first lesson in the series: Why Should You Consider being an Early Stage Startup Employee. This mini-course is from our monthly event series: Femgineer Forum, which was sponsored by nousDECOR in April 2014.

If you think that being at an early stage startup employee means that you just work 100 hour weeks, then you’re in for a surprise!

Having been an early stage startup employee at Mint.com, and having started my own startups: BizeeBee and Femgineer, I’ve gotten a real sense of the pros and cons of being at an early stage startup.

In this lesson I’ll share why I chose to work as an early stage startup employee, how I benefited from the experience, and why you should consider being an employee at an early stage startup despite whether it succeeds or fails!

I want to thank our sponsor nousDECOR for helping to support us in producing this mini-course!

Learn more about what inspired Heather Gillette to come up with nousDECOR, and what nousDECOR does!
