Frequently Asked Questions
-
You’re not stuck. We can model staged exercises, exercise-and-sell-to-cover, and compare non-recourse financing (true cost, covenants, trade-offs) against cash flow-friendly alternatives. We’ll align tactics with the expected Q1 tender, your vesting, and concentration risk.
-
Plan before you opt to sell. We’ll build a tender offer liquidity model (after-tax proceeds across multiple sell amounts), a diversification roadmap, and coordinate tax-aware tactics (e.g., AMT audit for ISOs, treatment of NSO income). We’ll also factor company-specific limits once disclosed.
-
We believe in simple, transparent fees. As a fee-based fiduciary, we can remain focused on doing what’s best for you.
