Description
A founder’s financial life is unlike any other: years of illiquid paper wealth, then a single event that makes you liquid and rich almost overnight — and the difference between good and poor planning is routinely measured in millions. This is the most advanced guide in the library, covering the moves that must happen before you sign: the 83(b) election, QSBS (Section 1202) and its major 2026 expansion under OBBBA, QSBS stacking, pre-exit gifting, deal structure, then the post-exit essentials — surviving sudden wealth, diversifying the fortune, estate and legacy planning, and deciding what the freedom is for. Built on the current, expanded 2026 QSBS rules that founders can’t afford to get wrong.
