Tech Employees Are Being Robbed Of Billions | Ep. 417 with Oren Barzilai CEO & Founder of Equitybee
About this episode
Daniel Robbins interviews Oren Barzilai about the significant losses tech employees face due to unexercised stock options and the importance of understanding equity.
Daniel Robbins sits down with Oren Barzilai, Co-founder and CEO of Equitybee, to unpack the hidden world of startup equity and why employees may be losing tens of billions of dollars in unexercised stock options every year. Oren shares how watching early employees at his previous startup miss out on life-changing acquisition payouts inspired Equitybee, why startup employees must understand equity as seriously as salary, and how one employee used the platform to turn an equity opportunity into $5.2 million. The conversation also explores private markets, pre-IPO investing, financial freedom, and why the employees building billion-dollar companies deserve to participate in the value they helped create.
