Final complete day: 2026-08-06. Attention was 0.9% — this entity appeared in 15 of 1,744 analyzed posts/comments in the seven days ending that day (23 mentions).

Each point is a seven-day rolling window of complete UTC days; a point is comparable only when at least 100 analyzed posts or comments fall inside it.

   I worked for a startup and found a buyer on one of those private markets, then purchased my options and turned around and sold them the same week. I got $20/share. The company IPOed a year later and as usual the stock value quickly fell to like $3 shortly after (I know my pre-IPO shares would have been diluted and not actually worth as much when they went public, but you get the point).

   I wonder if OP is looking at the current FMV of the shares instead of their exercise price to get to the six figure number They don’t seem to understand how options work

   Options are standard, but exercise price being in the six figures for a founding engineer (I.e joining at seed) is wild. Especially factoring in that it’s only 1/4 of your grant at 1 year. What’s the FMV of the shares? Are they worth more than the exercise price (based on the valuation at the last fundraise?) It could be worth the gamble to exercise some of them. Also: do you think there would be a secondary market for some of these shares? (I.e do you think you could sell them to anyone interested in owning a part of the company today?) If you can line up a buyer, and if the current valuation is a lot higher than your strike price, you could make a quick profit in flipping your shares. This could be worth exploring just because it sounds like you’ve got a lot of shares?

   Was thinking the same thing. As a founding engineer, I was able to early-exercise my shares, roughly 10% of the company, for under $1k. Got a little lucky with how that played out though I think

   It’s to attract long term buy in to the company, but you still have to pay at the discounted amount depending on how valued the company was when you joined. Sounds like it did its job given they left within 1 year. If you’re not going to stick around to see it through, then maybe the startup or the shares isn’t for you. So if you’re going to join you have to ask yourself is the salary you’re negotiating worth it enough to stick around regardless of shares.
