You have equity. Now make decisions about it with actual numbers.
Startup employees usually hold their largest asset in a form they cannot easily value, sell, or plan around. Frame models what your equity is actually worth after tax, what exercising will cost you, and when the timing works in your favor, then connects you with advisors who work with equity holders.
Decisions Frame helps you model
- Exercise timing and cost in real dollars, before you write the check.
- AMT exposure and the ISO crossover point for the current tax year.
- 83(b) elections on early-exercised options and restricted stock, with the 30-day deadline in view.
- Vesting and cliff modeling, including acceleration terms.
- Secondary sale and tender offer proceeds, net of federal, state, and QSBS treatment.
- QSBS eligibility on employee shares under §1202.
- Multi-state residency effects on exercise, vesting, and liquidity.
What Frame is not
- Frame does not report to your employer. Your account and inputs are yours.
- Frame does not require cap table access from your company.
- Frame does not sell your information. Advisor intros happen only when you approve them.
