It's a tough call. It's all about what you believe will really be a winner, you have to evaluate every investment on it's own. I had an idea, several actually, but I believed the startup that I joined as employee 6 had a much larger head start and less hurdles than my own. I picked what I believed was the best investment, not of my money, but of my precious time. Will I ultimately be happy? So far so good but you don't really know until you try.

I assume that Big Company is Bottom, Your Own Company is Top, and Startup is Versatile. . . Unless you are a priest, I think you meant "pittance" not "penance." =) You never made the connection between top and bottom explicit.
