Fuck Your 90 Day Exercise Window (2016)

Most startups give you a 90 day window to exercise your vested options once you leave the company — either through quitting or through termination — or all of your unexercised options vanish. For example: say you’re employee number one at A Very Cool Startup, and, through your cunning intellect and a lot of luck and a lot of help from your friends, you manage to help grow the company to the pixie fairy magic dragon unicorn stage: a billion dollar valuation. And if you’re at a company that currently only does 90 day exercise windows, give them a friendly heads-up, and hopefully we can add them soon enough.
