Title: David Kim's $750K Dilemma: Navigating RSU Complexity and Startup Liquidity Tagline: Unlocking financial clarity for SaaS founders. Problem: David's $500,000 portfolio is heavily weighted in company stock (RSUs) with complex vesting schedules and potential tax implications tied to a liquidity event (acquisition or IPO). He needs to determine the optimal strategy for diversifying his holdings and generating reliable residual income, all while factoring in the potential dilution of his equity during a Series A round and the tax consequences of a cash acquisition. His current spending exceeds his current residual income by approximately $4,000 per month. Solution: Using the Residual Income Calculator, we can project David's future income streams from diversified investments after selling a portion of his RSUs post-vesting and accounting for capital gains taxes. The calculator helps us determine how much capital needs to be allocated to income-generating assets to bridge the $4,000 monthly gap and achieve his desired financial independence. By stress-testing different investment scenarios and factoring in the potential acquisition price, we can model his long-term residual income projections. Furthermore, employing the Tax Equivalent Yield Calculator helps find bonds with yields adjusted for tax consequences, so that the best investment options can be found, that can generate passive income after taxes. ROI: $120,000 in projected additional annual residual income within 5 years, along with minimized tax liability through strategic RSU management and diversification. Description: David Kim, a 38-year-old SaaS founder, faces a pivotal moment: a potential Series A funding round or a lucrative acquisition offer for his $2M ARR company. His personal portfolio, including a significant RSU holding, requires strategic planning to maximize long-term financial security amidst the uncertainty.
