For an investor in a startup, quick return on investment is as simple as writing a check now and depositing some related money later. But what if the company becomes a healthy and happy company that grows and becomes independent and never creates any liquidity for its investors?

Duncan, your point is well taken. It takes just under 7% interest compounded annually to turn $50,000, and those rates are unheard of these days. It's tough to get better than 2% anywhere. But these are strange times. It wasn't that long ago that interest rates of 5% and 6% were common for CDs, but not any more. Sorry, call that exaggeration for effect. My bad. Tim Berry

Tim, where is this "bank with decent interest" you speak of? In 5 years $50k turns into $70k on bank interest?? I'll not only switch banks, I'll move across country!
