Not sure if this is the best comm for this post, but it really hit home with me, and is getting some good discussion in my circles.

    Is it common for a tech startup to have a billionaire CEO? I thought startups were usually like 10 people, but they have an HR as well.

      Could be a billionaire that got their money from a successful business then founded another one, which is still in startup phase.

        Yeah I think tech/software is so infested by "startup culture" that there are a lot of "vc startup unicorn disruptor" companies that, in any normal industry, would just be new desks in an unused corner of an office building inhabited by 10 new hires.

      I don't know the exact definition of a startup since Uber is still considered a startup but I have seen a few with no HR department.
