<prompt> Human: A little intro: I am a new grad with very little knowledge in finance, but half decent at writing code I work for a rapidly growing, yet pretty small 50 employees, Canadian tech company Our company is signing several major deals in the next few weeks proportionally speaking about 30 of our current ARR In the process of working out a 4 million investment round from a VC which should be worked out in the coming weeks Company has grown 200 per year over the past 3 years; valued at 10 million with a ARR of 3 million No minimum entry, but stock options max out at 2500 shares at 0.74share 1800 Marginal student debt, but literally 0 living expenses because I still live with my parentsShould I do it? If so, should I go for the full 1800? What should I look out for? Any advice would be greatly appreciated, and please excuse my ignorance if I sound like an inexperienced idiot its because I am. Cheers guys.  <response>: If you are going to work for a start up, you are already in a high risk situation. No point in high risk without high rewards.Max it. Buy as much stock, or as many stock options as you can afford.You are young. If it all goes tits up, you have time to recover. With any luck you will make money.Good luck.
