Pre and Post IPO Planning for Databricks Employees

Going public is an exciting time both professionally and financially. On the personal financial planning front, there's a lot to consider such as: how this affects your taxes, how and when to sell your shares, what to do during the lockup period, how to diversify your investments, and what you need to think about from an estate planning perspective. We've developed a process to help you address these concerns in a timely and thoughtful manner. See below for more information on our IPO Planning packages.
