Entrepreneur In Residence (EIR)

The employee stock options system is broken. While receiving stock options should be a life-changing opportunity for employees, many just can’t afford to exercise them. Equitybee is here to fix this problem by helping startup employees fund their options and take ownership of their hard-earned shares. If you love startups, and are hungry for success, this position is the right fit for you. What’s better than helping fellow startup builders participate in the success of the companies they worked so hard to build? www.equitybee.com
