I just added to my position here unfortunately 1 point too early. With respect to options, I think it is a valuable point to insist that the options vest over time, and that only a small poriton vest immediately, Otherwise everyone operates the company on a short term basis which is not a good thing. Also If the options are in excess of the current market price than the incentive is for the employees to work hard so that the market price goes up. You lose that incentive if when the stock price goes down you permit what is known as option repricing. Namely the employee keeps the same amount of options but the strike price is reduced because of market conditions. To me this sends a terrible message to employees and i do not want to be involved in companies that reprice those options. Most of the time they do not succeed as investment although they may be a boondogle for employees and management.
