@sama is this an issue of educating employees on mechanics of 83b elections, cashless exercise, etc. or do you want to reinvent stock comp?

@sama See ‘employee ownership with a twist’ in this article: medium.com/radical-business/…. @Gamevy’s been working on a solution already :)

@sama how abput utilising a butterfly tacticwith options to Iimit volatility and creat a band of guaranteed income?

@sama perhaps utlise a tax deductible instrument like unit trust that coincide with excersize date. Unit trust pays excersize hit?

@sama Define "screwed" ... Low allocation? Market is getting more and more transparent, which is great news.

@sama Hugely important topic. Have many many thoughts on how things need to change that I've been percolating on for years.

@sama Also: perverse incentives of successful companies to fire early employees rather than let them keep vesting.
