Yes, it's not guaranteed by anything.
I also know of cases where founder alone ended up with billions and early employees got nothing.
I just see those startups as poorly executed who decided to kill their army after victory way home.
We should strive for execution where at least your comrades also win.

It is not a zero-sum game. You win when your comrades win. The glory is not in taking it all but taking pride in what you have created and can potentially create and expand on over and over again. :)
