About ESO Fund

The Employee Stock Option Fund (ESO Fund) provides funding for the employees of venture-backed companies to absorb the financial risks associated with exercising stock options. The cost of exercising stock options and paying Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) is often very expensive while also presenting the risk of total loss and the burden of long periods of illiquidity. The ESO Fund provides tax-efficient financing and shelters the employee from the risk of total loss.
