100K ARR startup in 6 MO. Still do banking?

Currently sitting on an offer to do banking at a lower tier BB in NYC. WF/UBS/RBC/CITI)

However, I’ve also developed a startup that we’ve grown to 100k ARR in 6 months. 50:50 ownership with cofounder. It’s in the SaaS healthcare space without giving too much info, it’s brand new propriety science.

What would you do? Go FT or grow this?

Wtf don’t do banking 


Even if you fail at startup, you will learn way more than doing version 128 of a presentation at 3 am

 

RBC isnt BB, also just sign now you can always renege you will be doing your startup if you renege you don't need to worry about it biting back later on
