Here is why I don't fully trust automatic (ai) notetakers - because the notes might get lost... as they just did for our Board meeting 🙀 and no notes were made manually 😡 (1 failure out of 30 meetings)

quote from amplitude.com/books/north-st…

What do you do in this situation?: "Her company seemed caught in a perpetual cycle of shiny objects, success theatre, false starts, and vague pivots-by-PowerPoint. Just when they hit their stride, something would change. It felt like they were always talking past each other."

@fintechjunkie This is mostly US-centric view and issue (because of 409A) and market practice. While in the EU every country has its own practice and no joint approach yet. Many have favourable cases for employees (no taxes before selling, very low strike price allowed etc).

At a startup, stock options can be lucrative depending on the success of the company. With valuations down, Founders are asking to reprice historical options. Here’s what it means, why it’s important and when it’s appropriate.

@JoshuaOgundu Absolutely - that wouldn't make any sense if a profitable company wouldn't share it with its employees. It doesn't really matter how you call it - 13th salary or dividends for employees who have exercised options, or sth else. Either way, need to figure out who gets how much.

Founder of MidJourney raised $100M previously for a hand tracking startup. Sold for $30M. Chooses to bootstrap MidJourney, $200M in revenue and has chosen to do profit sharing with employees vs issuing options theinformation.com/articles/he-do…

@gunnigylfa @GergelyOrosz Then you might end up also with owning less than you previously paid for like Klarna employees in Europe: lexology.com/library/detail…

@GergelyOrosz A company I worked for provided us with restricted stock units, RSUs. I liked being able receive equity as a promise rather having to exercise options I received.

"I'm leaving my seed-stage startup. I have a bunch of options (was employee #1) I now need to exercise to keep them but it would cost most of my savings to do so. What would you do?" This is a big problem with startup options, and this is where it's down to your risk tolerance.

@hertzofferteit pretty hard to catch you and get help as we are currently stuck with dead battery. No answer on phone and no way to get help
