[@Zerjditywnskg455]

great nuance on early exercise! thank you.

[@alleyne361]

Thank you sooooo much for this video!

[@AverageAngel]

the early exercise seems like the best part of the video as the capital gain would be at a lower price since it's earlier in time

[@akweteylouis]

Great work!

[@ninjaninja9954]

Lol in UK our income tax rate is like 40% on anything over £50k! In America it is only at 40% on like anything over $400k lol

Yh but…healthcare…

[@-Jason-L]

@billykotsos4642 if you think the government runs it more efficiently than private sector, i have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you

[@michaelohwtf]

Healthcare may sound great, but NHS is a mess and good luck on a waiting list.

If exersise is at liquidation event, if employee leaves before liquidate even would it be exersisable when liquidation event occurs?

[@mdhugh2]

It would depend on the vesting schedule. If you stayed long enough to receive a portion or all of your equity it's yours to keep even after you leave.

[@ref1c]

Thanks for the explanation and congrats on your company's IPO!

[@Zn0nimus]

Is there a scenario where it makes sense to get single digit stock options? Like, 5 or 6 shares for early small start ups?

[@rudhisundar]

NO! FUCK NO!

[@tiffypressstart3412]

Can people ever withdraw/sell? Like do they have to wait after the first year (based on your example of 4 year vesting and year 1 is @25%.)

[@uprisemoney]

Yes, you have to wait for equity grants to vest before you can sell. (Even after the equity vests, if the company is private, you likely won't be able to sell immediately because the stock is not publicly traded.)

wery thick with fluff word salad. not a lot of solid information. you can do better. 7 minutes in and all you have done is define an option.

[@uprisemoney]
