Yeah - there are three exits :

- IPO : good luck

- Sale on revenue and clients : boring, competitive and comparably low return for founders. Invest 10-15 years at comparatively low compensation with high risk of total failure , and huge opportunity cost.

- Sale on IP and team : quick, high return.

Founders often build category 2 opportunites without knowing, and are removed after a short time, with no compensation and several years of their lives missing!
