I will not exercise my Gitlab stock options (2017)

I'm 99% positive there are entire companies dedicated to financing the tax bill for these types of taxes, just to get a cut of the equity.

EDIT: See https://www.esofund.com/ There are other newer places also like https://join.equitybee.com/

Also, brokers who create a secondary market for this equity will also arrange financing, but it depends on the "hotness" of the equity.

SIDE NOTE: If you have SpaceX stock, and you're going to leave it on the table due to taxes, reach out to me and I can arrange for something also. But go to ESOFund, etc first of course - those are professional outfits.

Can you point to some example(s) of companies that finance exercising private company options?
