PocketFM completes its ESOP buyback

Product Manager

Where did you work and how much money did you make?

Asking as it looks like a lot of promise of ESOPs and wealth creation has failed employees in this bloodbath slow growth, layoffs, and job changes.

"ESOPs made me rich af"

UX/UI designer

At an early stage startup that is VC funded. Had posted a question on understanding esops which provided great clarity. Now curious as to how much people actually have ended up making from ESOP buybacks. Would be great if you can share- initial exercise price, quantum of esops and final price at which you sold. I currently have 25L in esops for a 2M$ funded company at a strike price of 10.

5. Any other rules?
6. Are you happy?

Meesho doing its fourth ESOPs buyback worth 200 crore

Fast learning and fast paced growth aside, after 15 years of MNC experience  I joined a startup to get some ESOPs.. and hopefully a good buyback ..

I have worked in 2 startups now.Both of these were already  Unicorns when I joined .


While I love the culture and dynamic pace of a startup 
i feel my chances of getting a payout  are slim...

My personal learning is to get a good reward you have to be in top 10 employees for sure ... otherwise it's not worth it ..

There is no point joining a Unicorn in middle management...or second in command in any function...

Happy to hear your thoughts !

Share your ESOP buyback story..

Founder

My profile: EX. Founder turned Product+ strategy person
YOE: 5+
ESOPs: 80 lakhs 
Cliff: 1 year
Vesting period: 48 months

I am still thinking after how many years it will be valuable given the liquidity is very rare for ESOPs. Any thoughts?
