I think a big exit is too unlikely to think in terms of "expected payoff".
I think of equity more as having a stake in the product you spend all your
time creating.

If that 2.5% of £40 million over 5 years ends up coming my way, then that's
cool.
I can buy my parents house so my dad can retire.

In a similar way, I think having the odd random gamble is also of value,
Add some randomness to your life.
