I appreciate the thinking here and message but am concerned about this line &quot;This will cost a few hundred dollars at most&quot;.<p>Clearbit has raised a $2M seed round from top-tier investors implying a post-money valuation likely over $6M. A conservative FMV of the common shares would suggest a $1.2M valuation. To exercise a 0.5% of total equity grant would cost $6,000. Something doesn&#x27;t add up here.<p>If I am correct, will Clearbit help its employees exercise their options?<p>See: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.fenwick.com&#x2F;publications&#x2F;pages&#x2F;playing-with-fire-loans-to-exercise-options.aspx" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.fenwick.com&#x2F;publications&#x2F;pages&#x2F;playing-with-fire...</a>
