Here's what you need to know:
🔐 The Clock is Ticking:
The 83(b) election allows you to buy shares at their initial value, typically a penny, as soon as you join the company—starting the clock on future gains.
💼 Exercising Options:
To realize the full potential of your options, you have to exercise them and then have the freedom to sell them, allowing you to reap the rewards of your investment.
🗓️ Public Company vs. 83(b):
In the case of public companies, you're typically required to sell the vested options immediately after the one-year cliff to cover tax costs.
However, the 83(b) election grants you the flexibility to act immediately at a penny.
💰 Unlocking Financial Potential:
Making the 83(b) election now can open doors to significant financial gains in the future, potentially turning a penny into fortunes.
