I was presented with stock options in one of my offer letters and wanted some help understanding if possible. its a start-up. Number of stock option: 31,070 (0.27% fully diluted) The company isnt public. How would I calculate an actual monetary number ?
Actual monetary number is 0 as of now.
$0.
If your company never goes public that is Monopoly money.
What if they get acquired?🤔
If they get acquired, last in (money), first out. So if your startup has VC funding, they’ll recoup their investment first plus whatever terms they agreed on (could be 1.5x-2x) and money trickles down depending on how many funding Series. Founding team is next then whatever is left are the employees. It’s like a waterfall.
Well u need to find out the current strike price u r being offered, the current 409a which should give u the valuation. Also look at future , u can assume that any further round will dilute ur stock by 15-20%
If you’re getting a quarter percent of the whole company, you’re probably a first ~50ish employees and you hopefully are someone that believes in your product or service. I wouldn’t expect a payoff anytime soon.. probably a long road ahead.
Be glad it's zero, otherwise the IRS will come after you
You ask for the strike price. What’s your YOE?

Is "From the River to the Sea" So Wrong?
You can't really yet. It seems like a very early stage so options are funny money, aka $0.
