Exactly. I got a drive by downvote which is a shame. Some people are in a situation where they're happy to take a risk, and know that if it fails they won't be destitute, and sometimes you might be paid more to account for the risk. Or less, but you get stock options to account for the risk. They're all valid options as long as you're not forced into it.
