   OK thanks, it was more to get an idea of "how much stock do the employees own vs. VCs and execs" but it looks like we don't have enough data to compute that

   If someone with better knowledge of S-1s could shed light on this: where can we see the option pool / option grants awarded to employees? Must be somewhere in there, no?

    I have one question: how? How can you fund my card at the time of payment, if you get my money through a wire transfer? By the time the money arrives, the merchant will have cancelled my purchase, no?
