@Nick Sure, but timing matters. Establishing yourself in the niche can be a deterrent to competition. There's a difference between competing against hundreds of competitors and a few.

That is very comprehensive. Thank you. The point of the decreasing value of the grant is taken, so isn't that working against them, also? If you think you are going to get a grant later, doesn't that align your interests with the company doing poorly until then? (speaking of motivations, not of being deliberately unethical)

Luckily, I'm not counting on the shares, since I was able to strongly negotiate salary. My suspicions (and ire) have been raised because my emails have been downright ignored rather than being answered (even with unhelpful answers).

The details aren't there, but the promise and amount of options are there (contingent on board approval).

HR only really gave me insight over the phone. They are very frustrated that finance won't tell them anything and what they do tell them they aren't allowed to release. I'll try to get an email reply from HR to keep offline.
