“He noted that the shares are locked up until the company is sold or makes an initial public offering, so he can’t cash out just yet.”

So in reality he is out $18,000 and has nothing to show for it except a piece of paper that says he has 100,000 shares of currently worthless stock.

Currently worthless stock that has already secured $220 million of investment money before going public.

Tell the thousands of Silicon Valley millionaires that that's not how it's done.
