Well of course it means that.
It also means job security because the group will never admit failure.

At a start up now and this is true… but the equity upside is nice
Right but they often make the vesting period longer than most people who can do better can last at those places. In my opinion, the majority of start ups are run so incompetently that the only ones who stay long enough to be fully vested in the equity are those who can’t be employed elsewhere for very long. In other words, they’re incompetent. As I said, I’ve worked for three startups in the past and the third time was the last. I’m done with that type of employer. Just constant 180° turns in priorities and pay structures and run by really unqualified people.

That’s a retarded opinion
And don’t you sell insurance? How have you worked at multiple startups? Opening your branch of State Farm isn’t a startup

There are plenty startups in the insurance sales arena. You sound like you don’t know what you’re talking about.

A simple Google search will do that. I’m not saying who I’ve worked for on a public forum.

Just give me the business model. I know there’s startups related to insurance in the technology or analytics space, but actual insurance sales? Not really that I’m aware of

If the founder does not trust the people they hired to do the job of hiring their own people for a job what else could go wrong. As other said they either cannot make a decision or looking for a Unicorn.

There are plenty. I’d be willing to bet that many national insurance brokers you’ve heard of or have come across is a start up. They’re becoming quite common.

So no information? Thanks, you’ve really changed my mind

Dude what specific information are you looking for? These companies get started by a fool and his friend when they get tired of working for an employer. They then start raising a bunch of capital, they grow really fast, and before they know it they're bigger than the level of competency their company possesses. That's when bubble think takes over and they usually either fail or get bought out by a larger corporation before they fail so the owners can make a quick buck, leaving employees there with their 5th whiplash-inducing foundational change of the year. They just fricking suck to work for.
And yes, these companies are focused on insurance sales. They are life insurance and property/casualty brokerages. I don't know what else you're looking for.

3rd Party Recruiter?
If so, the "founder" probably doesn't want to dump money on a finders fee with it being a startup, unless you're a rare and valuable unicorn. The recruiter would also be very motivated to not let the deal die and lose out on commission, therefore continuing to push for more interviews at all cost.

How is the business model different? Opening a branch or becoming an independent agent isn’t a startup, certainly not in the context the OP is talking about and you are trying to give him (bad) advice about.

These aren't branches or independent agencies. These are massive companies build on houses of cards.
They sell, sell, and sell. They don't usually focus too much on servicing or keeping the customer. It's churn and burn, both with customers and employees.

Why are you the way you are? They are start ups. Start ups don't have to be small by definition.
