> It matters a lot if the team goes on to found some other product that will go away in 3 years.

You follow team members' track records and avoid products based on who is there?

Just trying to point out how unrealistic this logic actually plays out. It seems like in general, you'll want to avoid startups or companies less than 5 years old.




I don't avoid startup/business less than 5 years old neither I avoid startup where only a few lower members of failed startup moved there.

I avoid doing business with startup founded by a majority team of a failed startup.


I will do business or avoid doing business with companies based on leadership reputation, yes.
