My company’s Slack lit up recently because of an announcement that we were going to be redoing our 409A valuation. If you haven’t been around the startup scene for long, there’s a good chance that that sentence sounds like Greek (or I guess pick your favorite language that you don’t know, if you happen to speak Greek). This is actually a really important process to understand, because it does have a lot of implications surrounding equity grants and decision-making around option exercises. Fortunately, it’s a relatively simple topic to get your head around.
