Secfi
Secfi arranges non-recourse financing for employees of late-stage startups: cash to exercise stock options or against shares they hold, settled at an IPO or acquisition by repaying the advance, an advance rate that compounds quarterly and an equity share of the shares' exit value, after a platform fee of up to 5%. Secfi's investor page says the equity share is charged on the full pool of pledged shares while advances run at 20 to 50 cents per dollar of underwritten value, which does most to decide what an employee gives up in a strong exit. Rates are set per company and person in a proposal, and the money comes from institutional investors, including Secfi-managed funds.
