I was part of a leadership team at a startup for 4.5 years (went from 10 to 200 employees, series A and B). During that time I accumulated a significant number of stock options which could potentially make me a millionaire.
I left the company because my salary was incredibly low relative other companies in the same area.
I have left and I have no possibility of exercising the options. I technically could but that would mean ~50% of my net worth in a single risky investiment.
So yeah, I now price stock options at zero.
- dehrmann 6y agoIf they haven't expired, you should look into the companies that will loan you money to exercise. ESO Fund is one, Employee Capital Partners is another, and I'm sure there are others. There's also the option of trying to sell shares on a platform like EquityZen.
- mateus1 6y agoI'd love that. I don't think there are any players in that market in Brazil.
