Got in on the ground floor

A business term meaning to join a company at or very close to the time it was founded—allowing you to potentially gain senority/executive authority early and obtain a high percentage of company stock ownership before the company gets big.
Jeff is probably worth $50 million now, I heard he got in on the ground floor with BigOil and owns over 10% of their stock!
