Do any startups still do reverse vesting with an 83b filing?

  Do you mean do startups allow employees to forward exercise options and file for 83b? If yes, I'm interested in knowing that too.

    Yeah. I had one like that but have really never heard of it happening anywhere else.

      May be this deserves to be a separate question on HN :)

    Yup, I had one recently. The company had buyback rights at the strike price of the options that were equivalent to typical vesting terms. So, a 1 yr cliff, 4 year monthly vest. I.E. Any time in year 1 they had the right to buy them all back for exactly what I would have paid to exercise.
