I've found getting info around stock options at startups is often really hard. It's not very transparent. For example, the total diluted shares isn't shared or sometimes even the current valuation isn't shared. LoL good luck with ever seeing a cap table. Often times that makes it impossible to even determine their value.

There can be value here for sure, but everyone dreams big, never asks questions, and never tells. My other favorite in this industry is "stealth mode" lol.
