最近看到一篇非常好的文章, 有关创业公司期权给了几条建议.
Startup Stock Option Changes
文中还推荐Sam Altman 的另一篇文章Employee Equity 也非常值得一读

简单做一些笔记.


1. 股权透明

Cap table transparency for all

2. 早期员工早行权

Early exercise for early employees

3. 员工离职后给予超过90天的时间行权

More than 90 days to exercise after departure

Pinterest’s practice of providing 7 years to exercise after you leave (provided you stayed at the company for at least 2 years) seems like a reasonable proposal.

A公司在B轮给员工小明的期权价格是1美元/股, 当时公司估值每股2美元. 小明工作三年离职, 此时公司估值为每股10美元, 按照合同应该到手3万股, 那么小明要行权的费用是 ** 3万股 * 1美元 ** , 对吧? 还是要 ** 3万股 * 10美元/股 ** ?

4. 再看归属时间表

Vesting schedule revisited

Standard vesting schedules are typically 4 years vesting monthly with a 1 year cliff. That means the employee gets 25% of the options every year

  • 如果这家公司是个靠谱的公司, 并且你做事也靠谱, 公司肯定会这如何招聘更多像你这样靠谱的人
  • 如果这家公司不靠谱, 谢天谢地你可以早日找下家
  • 更重要一点, 你看到的公司靠谱但人在第三年被fire的, 应该是他们自己不靠谱

5. 回购权利

an important topic: buyback rights. In recent years, I’ve heard a few horror stories about employees leaving a company only to have their vested shares repurchased at the same price they paid for them…in other words, they get nothing for their vested shares.

Skype is probably the most evil example of this happening


最后, 如果你即将加入的公司没有实施上述原则, 想清楚再入坑!

But I would argue that if you’re thinking of joining a company that doesn’t adhere to similar principles, you should definitely think twice before joining them!
