> was not offered 83b election

The 83b election mechanism is a mess, and plenty of startups don’t explain it well to their employees, but I wasn’t aware that an employer had any particular say in it. Generally, the employee makes the election by mailing the appropriate documents to the IRS.

As far as I know, a company still has to allow early exercise in order for you to be able to purchase unvested options.


Correct, and this is what I originally meant.
