I’m not sure I would want to keep the company as flat as Valve does, but that’s something I will only be able to judge from experience. If having the explicit goal of selling the company quickly will turn out to be harmful, then I will abandon that goal.
I don’t follow your reasons for joining Valve. It won’t give me the amount of money I want, and it won’t give me company managing experience faster than actually starting and managing a company would. Also, I’m not trying to invest or build a rational organization.
I’m completely comfortable with not doing direct work on ex-risk reduction. The best method I could come up with in reducing ex-risk indirectly is donating money, hence the startup. I’m not interested in having a career, I’m interested in making lots of money.
