Pros: lock in basis, delta bw FMV and strike likely not big, so taxes paid at exercise lower now than they'd be later. Hopefully you'll get LT cap gains at exit.

Cons: You pay exercise and taxes at time of exercise. The startup could fail so you paid for nuttin.

You re welcome.

His family just bought a house for us and my family can’t even buy a second car. Idk how to go about this situation.
