Should I Join This HR Software Startup as a Founding AE? i will not promote

Hey everyone, I’ve worked in top fintech companies and just got an offer to join an **HR software startup** as a **Founding AE**, but I’m unsure if it’s the right move. • **$7M Seed round, \~$1M ARR** • **Very competitive comp + strong equity** • **Product has traction, but it’s not in AI/fintech** My goal is to start my own startup in the near future. Would love insights on: 1. **Does joining a non-AI SaaS as Founding AE still have strong upside?** 2. **Would this help me transition into a founder role later?** 3. **Key things to consider before accepting?** i will not promote
