Thanks for the questions!
>If you're affecting startup employees' (and prospectives') perceptions of compensation, how do you deal with the appearance of potential conflict of interest, as a YC startup (which presumably has an interest in hiring and compensation by its startups)?
Our customer is the employee. We're not going to put YC or employers ahead of them.
>Also, do you have some kind of official fiduciary obligation, as part of giving financial advice? And if so, to whom? How will giving financial advice mesh with offering financial products?
We're not currently providing financial advice. We're purely focused on education—helping people understand their equity. We anticipate this will change in the future (and when that happens we will seek RIA certification).
