• I tried to kill myself today

  Guru.com and similar website have tons of resources for starting freelancers.

• Has anyone ever sold pre-IPO vested options before?

  I have options I don't really want to exercise and I know there's a couple companies out there that facilitate this (i.e. https://equityzen.com/, https://secfi.com/, etc). Has anyone done this before? What is the process like? Source: about 2 years ago

• I have an oppurtunity to invest in quite a few pre-IPO companies. Looking to budget around 500k for this. Was wondering your thoughts?
