Employee Stock Options w/ Oren Barzilai, EquityBee
Employees in startups in the US are, according to findings published in carta.com, losing $30B every year in unexercised stock options, because 50% do not exercise their stock options upon leaving a company.
Bill's guest this time is Oren Barzilai, Founder and CEO at EquityBee, a company on a mission to help startup employees obtain the capital they need to exercise their stock options.
Oren is a serial entrepreneur. Prior to EquityBee, he co-founded and served as the CEO at Start A Fire, a social marketing platform, that served more than 3,000 of the world's biggest brands. Before that, he co-founded and served as the CTO at Tapingo, a mobile commerce application that was acquired by GrubHub for $150 million.
Listen and Get Oren's Answers to Questions Including:
- Why do stock options remain major collateral when employers are trying to attract and retain top talent?
- Paint a picture of the impact on employees of unexercised stock options
- How does EquityBee try to help employees extract value from the compensation they were promised?
- Secondary platforms allow employees who already own shares to sell their shares to investors outright. Is EquityBee the same? If not, why not?
- Any tips for new employees to negotiate their stock options package when they join a company?
