When do you think Stripe will IPO or have a Liquidity Event (e.g. acquisition)? Comments are appreciated as well. L5 TC 200, YoE 3 Stripe L2 offer TC 355 Edit: I screwed up the "IPO far off" comparator. Imagine greater than 3 years for IPO
Pretty sure the founders don't want to IPO
Why not?
I really hope it's at least Q3 2022 cause I'm joining end of Q2 2022
I’m pretty sure the people who have the power to do it are not gonna say so on Blind
OP, in your offer is it # of stocks or $ worth of stocks per year?
$ worth based on "Fair Market Value" on some specific day when I join.
Is this a new change? This sucks because you don’t really benefit from stock appreciation in the 2nd 3rd and 4th year. Not that I complain from where I’m but if you have other offers worth considering
I’m joining this month. But due to the vesting schedule, really hope they IPO in 2023. Otherwise I’m really getting cash value by the time my first vesting period is over. The fact they have this policy makes me think they are going to IPO next year.
why would you need the ipo to be 2023? # of shares is determined at grant time not vest
I actually hope they don’t IPO in 2022 , because if they do , the upcoming vests will be too low especially if youre vests FMV are decided closer to IPO , if IPO stock prices shoot up a lot
I will never say
April 1st 2022
Why this date?
(I think it’s a joke; April fools day 😆)
