While this would be great, I&#x27;d personally like to see the tax code change - being taxed on the &quot;value&quot; of something you can&#x27;t realize, and my NEVER realize, is crazy.<p>Most of the time I&#x27;ve been at a startup as a founder&#x2F;early employee, the strike price was low enough that I&#x27;d be willing to take a roll of the dice and just exercise, if I was going to leave.  It&#x27;s usually 10&#x27;s of thousands of dollars.<p>By the time I started vesting a fair amount, the <i>TAX</i> on that  was non-trivial - 100&#x27;s of thousands if not more.  Something I personally can&#x27;t really do.
