Dans quelle startup postuler quand on quitte son job en Finance ou en Conseil ? Comment choisir le prochain Google pour faire une exit après vos années de junior en M&A ou en Conseil en Stratégie ?
Trouver une startup « hot » mais dé-risquée semble être le rêve de tous les banquiers et consultants. Davantage d’exposition, de responsabilités, une ambiance plus « cool », la fin des VP hystériques, la remise au placard des costards-cravates / tailleurs étouffants, un babyfoot et la fierté d’avoir un impact et de « changer le monde ».
Evidemment, je viens de dresser une liste des fantasmes. L’herbe est toujours plus verte chez le voisin. Mais la « réalité startup » pour les ex-banquiers et consultants sera le sujet d’un autre article (teasing).
En attendant, bouger en startup nécessite de faire un travail minutieux pour ne pas « foirer » son exit de la banque ou du conseil. Car on ne renonce pas à son salaire à 6 chiffres pour rejoindre un projet qui n’existera plus dans 6 mois, n’est-ce pas ? (indice du prochain article : vous êtes encore une fois à côté de la plaque).
Quelle startup choisir ? Et comment la choisir ?
Il existe un critère qui rassure le public « risk averse » des golden boys/girls de la Y Generation : rejoindre une startup qui a levé plus de $20mm garantira a minima des bureaux corrects, une connexion wifi stable, une place garantie dans l’open space et un salaire fixe qui pourra payer votre remboursement de crédit du 55m2 à SoPi que vous avez acheté l’an dernier.
Et pour les plus chanceux d’entre vous, vous aurez un poster super cool au dessus de votre bureau. Lucky you.
Voici donc une liste des 100 startups qui ont levé plus de 20 millions de dollars en 2016, avec une répartition Europe / US (source : Jonathan Userovici et spreadsheet associée)
