Startups.com Stock Options

Every dot-commer dreams of purchasing stock options at a very low price and selling very very high when the company goes public or is acquired. Or at least somewhat high after the investors cash out and the employees can finally be rewarded months later.

Unfortunately none of those scenarios happened at Startups.com. I'm not sure why...

But I actually purchased my options (for a very low amount) just for the keepsake.

3,333 shares of nothin'!!!

30 years from now on eBay, they could really be worth something. Or not.
