You start a company and your founder friends yell: “OMG FILE YOUR 83B!”
Why?
Imagine your startup grows to $100M as your shares vest (wahoo!) and you're now in the top income bracket—you could save *several million dollars* in personal income taxes.
How does an 83(b) work?
The US wants to encourage entrepreneurship, so the IRS lets you "elect" to pay tax on your unvested shares upfront (when the value is likely low), so then:
- You won't owe any income tax as shares vest
- You only owe capital gains tax later if you sell
I’m looking to hire the most hustling, specific, positive person, who can understand both people and systems — no specific background required. Your goal is to make it easier for our teams to bring Stripe to new countries.
You will materially increase the GDP of the internet.
You must have A++ attention to detail and be both friendly but exacting in terms of project management and technical thinking of how to help make the world’s financial systems integrate into our APIs and work with many domains inside and outside the building to unblock progress.
It’s still quite odd Stripe isn’t available in most countries... we get a lot of feedback on this! It’s a tricky set of things we must do this year — would love to hire someone to coordinate and systematized our country launch efforts from a product and technical perspective.
Hello world. A few reflections on my first year at Stripe and a bit on my first ten years building stuff.
I’ve joked that joining Stripe is my first rational career choice. 4 quick stories.
After school, I declined my MSFT internship return offer (but I could work on Excel!) to jobless-ly follow my girlfriend, now wife-y, to Washington, DC. I joined a non-war tech company (comScore), learned data at scale, hired my friends, and discovered how the internet works.
