Entrepreneur Founders, Angel Investors, and VCs all want to maximize their Return on Investment, their realized gain, when it looks like there is potential for an IPO with the company. It is hard to predict which startups will navigate the treacherous journey from start to finish of an IPO when the race isn’t a sprint, it can have many twists and turns and obstacles to over come, to reach the pinnacle of an IPO rather than acquisition or merger. Many of the ways to avoid taxes on capital gains and even ‘phantom earnings’ need to be dealt with at the start of the incentive or in the early days of the company starting up, not in the final stretch to an IPO.

Host Karen Rands is joined by Aaron Rubin, JD, CPA, CFP, partner with Werba Rubin Papier Wealth Management, LLC and author of “Financial Adulting”, a guide for young professionals navigate tax, investing and estate planning. Aaron works with pre-IPO executives and early employees at late-state tech companies to help them minimize their tax liability and keep more of their equity compensation. He is known in tech circles from Austin to Silicon Valley as the PreIPO ‘Stock Option Whisperer‘. www.wrpwealth.com
