Left a stable job for a startup that folded four months later, here's what I'd tell myself before jumping

Had eleven months of runway per the founders when I joined. Company ran out of money in four, laid off the whole eng team on a Tuesday with two weeks severance. Don't regret trying, learned more in those four months than the previous year, but I'd ask way harder questions about actual revenue and burn rate next time instead of taking the pitch deck at face value.
