have any idea what the startup was?
1. He said that it was sold between 1 year ago and 4 years ago. In addition, his company is still going.
2. He said that before taxes he had 30 million dollars, so the startup was sold for >=30 million dollars.
3. He is married and has an 11 year old daughter (and at least one more kid). Him and his wife are at least 30 years old.
4. At least one newspaper reported on him selling his startup.

He got 30M. That means that startup was sold for much more than that (2-300M?)
Maybe not. Derek Sivers, for example, sold *Baby for that range but owned 100% of the company.
