Good data. We have learned that if your company ever gets bought by Microsoft, you have to wait about three years to be fully vested. (The acquisition was in June 2018, but I guess it must have been finalized on November 3rd ;)
- sandyarmstrong 5y agoNat was originally on the Microsoft side when GitHub was acquired, not the GitHub side.
- HugoDaniel 5y agoDoes not change the fact that he stepped into the company he co-founded with vesting shares 3 years ago.
- apetresc 5y agoI still can't tell what you're alluding to. The company he founded was acquired 5 years ago, not 3.
- aroman 5y agoNat was not a cofounder of GitHub.
- HugoDaniel 5y agosorry my mistake, I had the idea he went full circle when were assigned as the CEO
- kodah 5y agoNat has had the privilege of working on some large projects and startups. I doubt money is something he's too concerned about at this point.
- da39a3ee 5y agoSo how come he made so much money that he can waltz off to what sounds like a life of casual angel investing?

- zerkten 5y agoWhy is that a surprise? All of the top tech companies have many public acquisitions and all of the leader info is available from multiple sources. In fact, you could use that leader info from LinkedIn to understand that Nat was already at MS from the Xamarin acquisition to know that his tenure at GitHub wouldn't be a good data point.
