I'm trying to decide if I should exercise the stock options. I have been saving up some money that could be used for this, but I'm not sure it's the best idea. I've started looking into the service equitybee that would enable me to exercise the options without using my own money but I would be sacrificing a portion of the upside.

Additionally, there is a company called EquityBee that offers to connect you with investors who participate in the cost of the options in exchange for a portion of the profit once they're worth something. This can essentially remove the risk you take when buying the options, in exchange for some of the profits later on. Source: about 2 years ago
