To build further conviction, consult a few wealth managers to understand “your number”. The dollars you need (post tax) to do what you really want to do post transaction. If you know your number, then you’ll know what you’ll say “no” to and what you’ll say “yes” to…and so will your M&A team.

Crucial but often overlooked aspect of down rounds: the impact on employee stock options 🚀⤵ When the market value of your company drops below the exercise price of your options (a down round occurs), things get tricky —it's not just investors who feel the impact. As an employee may end up paying more for the stock than it's current worth 💰😱 Here's the dilemma every employee face: Do you take the risk and invest in a future turnaround? Or do you hold off, risking your options expiring worthless? For employees in a down round, here are some things to consider: 1️⃣ Stay informed: Understand the details of your stock options, such as the exercise price, expiration date, and any vesting conditions. 2️⃣ Seek advice: A financial advisor can guide you through the financial and tax implications of a down round. 3️⃣ Adopt a long-Term perspective: Evaluate the company's long-term potential before making any drastic decisions. 4️⃣ Tax Implications: Understand the tax consequences of exercising your options and holding vs. selling the stock immediately. 5️⃣ Alternative strategies: Explore if your company provides solutions for underwater options, such as repricing or exchange programs. Remember, a down round doesn't mean it's game over. Successful companies have bounced back before. Just be aware that you might be buying stock for more than what its worth today. #startup #jobseekers #employeebenefits #stockoptions

🎉 Launch Day is Here! 🎉 When Mehdi Mahmoudi and I founded Blackroom in 2022, our mission was to transform M&A transactions through the power of Artificial Intelligence. Today, we are excited to officially launch our company and bring our vision to life. Why Blackroom? The M&A landscape is vast and complex, with nearly 50,000 deals taking place globally each year. We've witnessed firsthand the challenges posed by outdated and inefficient dataroom platforms. Existing players are hampered by structural limitations and technical debt, resulting in a lack of innovation. This inspired us to create Blackroom, a 3rd generation SaaS product that is user-friendly, clean, and designed to streamline document due diligence. What sets us apart? 🔒 Enhanced Security: Our AI-driven anonymization ensures data privacy and GDPR compliance. 📝 Automated Document Analysis: Instant summaries and detection of sensitive clauses save time and reduce errors. 🌍 Global Reach and Support: With numerous clients in France and abroad, and the backing of industry veterans, we are poised to make a significant impact. I would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to my team, who have worked tirelessly to design the product and build the most user-friendly, intuitive, and beautiful platform in the industry. A special thank you to our community who helped us shape this tool over the years. A special thanks to Adrien Ferreira,Antoine Trolliet, Antoine Ganancia,Adrien Senechal,Baptiste Behaghel,Eloi d'Halluin,Florian Conca,Filippo Bartolozzi,Flora Potier,Jean-Côme RENARD,Jonathan McDonnell,Julian Magnin,Kilian Barbier,Louis de Miscault,Maxime Lotigie,Melvin Stolf,Marwan Rizk,Maxime Terraes, Ronald GOMEZ Seán Damery, CFA,Thomas Bayart,Wladimir Boutet,William Dogger, and many others!
