What would you do with an extra $320K? That is the difference in a mock scenario between exercising Flock Safety employee stock options early ($1.43M gain) versus waiting until after IPO ($1.11M gain)*. The earlier you plan, the more money you may get to keep.

💡 Got stock options? Then your company has a 409A valuation. It sets the value of your shares and plays a big role in how your equity is taxed. Your strike price is set the day you get your grant. But your 409A? That changes as your company’s value shifts.
