This is a great trend that I&#x27;m seeing a lot of YC companies do. Early Exercise + 83b is an absolute must for all seed stage companies.<p>I really like the notion of helping employees exercise their options too with cash compensation and it&#x27;s something we&#x27;re looking into too at Pachyderm as we just started hiring.<p>What&#x27;s the legal structure of that cash repayment? Is it a bonus or can the company just pay the exercise price themselves and that&#x27;s that?
