The openingWhy this idea is overlooked
When a company IPOs or is acquired, employees who held equity can experience wealth events entirely outside their prior experience, but they typically receive less than founders, have fewer advisors around the event, and get less time to plan. Wealth managers chase founders and the largest holders; nobody specializes in the employee who held a fraction of a company that sold for a large sum and now has meaningful money and no plan. This non-founder liquidity recipient is a real, underserved, capital-equipped client.
