“If you put $50k in the stock market every year for 5 years @ avg. 8% return, your have ~$400k. Over 10 years it's ~$900k.”

That’s not always the case. Stock market returns are not guaranteed. If you start in the wrong decade you may be losing money.

startup returns are even less guaranteed. I think the main point is startup risk-adjusted returns are bad for non-founders.
