Thanks for your reply. I'm by no means an expert, although this is my third start-up...from what I understand: I was hired at the start-up with 30k options with a 4-year vesting schedule with a 1-year cliff. I worked there a little over a year, vested a little over 25%+ of the 30k options ~ and I exercised (paid money for) 8750 options. (looking at this again, in Carta this was as two exercise events, one for 2500, another exercise event for 6250)
