I think this is particularly true if you want to ever become CEO or VP of a much larger company. How else do you prove you're fit to lead a company or division except by a start-up betting it's future on you. I don't know what the stats are but I've seen a lot of higher ups come from start-ups (in particular acquisitions) as oppose to people slowly getting promoted and climbing the corporate ladder.

It's politics and hustling that get you to those positions. You aren't going to be simply granted VP or CEO or lead in a division simply because you participated in a start up for so long. Results will get you there along with some serious hustling.
