Has anyone used a service like https://www.equidateinc.com. They help you "sell" the right to buy your stock options to a third party. From their site:

> Traditional stock sales are time consuming, expensive, and clutter a company's cap table. Now it's easier: the Equidate contract transfers the economic upside and downside of your shares without actually selling them. It honors all exisiting transfer restrictions on your stock, and your identity is kept private throughout the entire process.

> The contracts Equidate has designed have aspects similar to both a derivative contract and a asset-backed loan. The result allows an investor to purchase the rights now to the economic upside/downside of a share now, without going through the complications of adding additional shareholders to the company's cap table or the hassles of a secondary stock transaction, postponing any transfer of shares until the company is ready.
