Word of the Day - Postequital

Postequital (adj) - Describes a person or actions of a person whose startup equity actually became valuable. Can be described as behavior similar to a mid life crisis but with greater purchasing power; common examples include opening a store or business that only loses money, working in the government to “fix it” or becoming an artist. It signifies that someone’s inner desires finally have an outlet to exist instead of in theory.

Does not describe someone starting a new startup, going back to work or becoming a venture capitalist, as that is essentially continuing to do the same work as before.

In a sentence:

Joe’s luxury cookie store seems definitely postequitable, there’s no way he could have afforded the rent before his employer IPO’d.
