Vested helped me exercise my shares…

Vested helped me exercise my shares without having to take on a ton of personal risk. I had just bought my house as I was leaving and had 90 days to make a big decision. The company didn't have the outcome we expected and the Vested team were great to me when things didn't work out.

Bobby was very helpful in walking me…

Bobby was very helpful in walking me through the process and was able to approve my proposal and secure funding within a week. Would recommend this service to anyone with stranded options from a start up that they would like to exercise.

Working with Vested was a great experience!

Working with Vested to exercise my NSOs was a great experience! I worked directly with Chad, and he was professional, responsive, and great at answering my questions. Throughout the process, I had confidence that I was being treated fairly and honestly. Based on my experience with Chad, I would recommend Vested to anybody in the difficult and confusing situation of exercising stock options.

Straightforward and Efficient

The process was straightforward, efficient, and they made sure that I felt comfortable each step of the way. Overall it took about a week to get the transaction wrapped up which was much quicker than expected. I would recommend their services to anyone looking!

Got the most out of my equity! Thanks

The team at Vested was incredibly helpful and thoughtful throughout the entire process. They were able to guide me through everything and helped me get the most out of my equity. I would recommend them over a lot of the other shops that offer similar services as they were generally the most communicative and helpful. If you’re looking to get the most of your equity I would highly recommend reaching out to them.

Great team running an easy process

Great team running an easy process , you’re guided through everything 1:1 , there’s opportunities to negotiate which are structured into the process (you don’t have to interject this piece yourself), everything is very clear and upfront .

Vested won't ghost you.

Other companies have reached out to me before and ghosted me after initial talks. Vested 1000% has their stuff together. Open to close, the process took less than a week. Highly recommend.

Funding in less than 48hrs

Working with Bobby was great. I had funding wired to me in less than 48 hours. If you are responsive to the Vested team they can make things happen very quickly. The price I received was fair and I am happy with the overall experience.

Responsiveness was second to none

The turn around time of Vested was amazing. I had a few days to vest my shares before they expired and the team came through with the funding right on time.

Bobby worked every step of the way with me including the paperwork. Things were smooth and well communicated.

Simple and friendly to work with

Considering the investment made by Vested, I was surprised how simple the transaction was. I'm a "details guy" and I only needed a couple of brief conversations with Bobby (who was excellent) over a span of two days before executing the agreement and receiving the funding for the options.

Thank you!

I completely forgot about my options, thankfully an employee from Vested reached out to me via LinkedIn. The process was super easy and any questions I had the Vested team was able to help me! Overall, it was a 10/10 experience!

Great Choice for Startup Stock Option Exercises

Vested has twice made the process of funding the exercise of my stock options easy and simple. Their deal terms are fair and communicated clearly up-front. They complete the paperwork and funding very quickly and are not intrusive during the period between funding and a liquidity event. I recommend Vested highly!
