I am being offered warrants in a secondary funded start-up. The warrants are to represent $15k (in lieu of cash) of my first year compensation, and are to be treated by the same guidelines as the B-1 round investors.
-with this definition of value, will i owe tax this year, or only at conversion/sale?
-I will also receive options representing 0.5%, does this reflect any problems?

I have a question about Options and valuations. I’m not sure it it’s posted here, if it would possibly get answered?
