Focused Session #2 • Taxes and Stock Options: a chat with Maria Gouveia (Partner at Morais Leitão)
Unveiling myths around Stock Options. For VC-backed companies (especially, but not only), one aspect that is often a complex subject are Stock Options and its dynamics. We'll start with that.
And then move on to questions that every Founder eventually runs into: namely how can I optimize my taxes to (legally) keep as much of the money I've earned? We'll get into that and other hot topics too.
There will be just 20 spots. It's a small event on purpose. And it's an actual conversation, not a lecture. Followed by some rooftop drinks and snacks.
On the couch with us: Maria Gouveia, Partner at Morais Leitão and someone who knows this space inside out. No formal presentation vibes, just a real conversation you can jump into.
In short, we're getting into:
How to deal with Stock Options
How, when and where to look into optimizing my taxes
Open Q&A: bring your real questions, not the polished version
