Ask HN: Company is firing all employees – should I still exercise my options?

As I am nearing the end of my 90 day period for option exercising, i’ve come to know that the company sent out prior notice to all employees a few days ago, as it is struggling to raise money. All 3 founders are at work trying to raise capital in the upcoming month before money runs out and they are also planing on continuing to do so after all employees leave. On the other hand, the company has a remarkable product (which they might decide to sell) and the industry is still very much in it’s diapers, meaning there is tons of true potential.
