Unfortunately, there are a lot of tricks to be aware of. You also need to understand how likely/bigly you are to be diluted. What are the classes of stock and their features? Ratchets, warrants, liquidation prefs, other wonky stuff? VCs could see a 3x return while staff gets 0. — PolitiTweet.org

If you're thinking about taking/exercising stock options in a startup that just raised at a valuation anywhere close to what it was in the last 2 years, check the fine print. Headline valuation can be highly misleading. You want to know net funds to employees at X valuation exit. — PolitiTweet.org

Any time I hear a company raised at an obscene valuation I'm like "show me the terms" because there's going to be something else horrible to balance it out. If you see a $0-1m house sell for $3m, it came with $2-3m of furniture. Shares of the house trade at $0-1m, not $3m. — PolitiTweet.org
