As a San Francisco attorney focused on helping tech startup founders and early investors maximize their wealth by navigating the high-stakes intersection of equity compensation, state residency, and Qualified Small Business Stock (QSBS). My practice turns complex tax codes into clear, actionable wealth-preservation strategies, ensuring you properly structure your 83(b) elections, legally minimize state exit taxes before a liquidity event, and fully capture the 100% federal capital gains exclusion on your QSBS.
