What incentive do you have to keep the information I provide you for a consultation confidential? If I actually give you the information you're asking for (strike price, shares outstanding, shares granted, company name, etc), you basically know far more about the cap table than anybody outside of the company should know. Additionally, most companies have NDAs that probably prevent the disclosure of this information.
If you're not an RIA, how can I trust you with this information?
Lmfao if anything this is a super European mindset. Does this not remind you of another hot button issue? (hint: GUNS)
