A Silicon Valley employee realized their odds of success in a corporate job were zero, making entrepreneurship the lower-risk choice. They calculated that a startup's potential outcomes beat a traditional career path where advancement was impossible.

My odds of success were zero if I stayed at my current job. I knew that I wanted to be an entrepreneur, build huge businesses. And so actually by starting small businesses, people say it's really risky, it actually was less risk. My outcome was a little bit rather than zero working at another job in Silicon Valley. So I felt my risk-adjusted rate of return was actually better in a startup rather than working a career because my odds of success were zero over here.
