Frequently asked questions
What is my Groq equity worth right now?↓
Groq's Growth (2025) valued the company at $7B. Secondary market data (Hiive, Forge, Caplight) gives a live read on implied valuation — PrivatePulse tracks this and updates every week. Gross value per option = (secondary share price − your strike price). Multiply by your vested count, then subtract taxes. The PrivatePulse calculator handles all of this automatically. Note: Groq has since exited the private market — refer to the exit terms for current value.
When will Groq go public or offer liquidity?↓
Nvidia entered a non-exclusive IP licensing agreement with Groq in December 2025 valued at ~$17B in cash payments. First. Employees with vested equity should refer to the exit terms for current liquidation details.
What is the Groq strike price for employee options?↓
Strike prices at Groq vary by grant year and cohort. Recent grants typically carry strikes in the $0–$14 range per share. Your grant agreement shows your exact 409A strike. With Groq now implying ~$7B, the intrinsic value per option is (current secondary price per share − your strike); enter your numbers in the PrivatePulse calculator to see the full picture including AMT and vesting schedule.
What's the difference between Groq ISOs and NSOs?↓
Groq typically grants a mix of Incentive Stock Options (ISOs) and Non-Qualified Stock Options (NSOs). ISOs: exercised spread is not taxed as income — instead it creates an AMT preference item. Long-term capital gains treatment is available if you hold shares 2 years from grant and 1 year from exercise. NSOs: exercised spread is ordinary income immediately — simpler but less tax-efficient. Both types require payment of the strike price to exercise. Use the PrivatePulse calculator to model the after-tax outcome under ISO vs NSO treatment at the current $7B implied valuation.
