What is the difference between common and preferred stock?
Preferred stock carries investor protections like liquidation preferences and anti-dilution; common stock is what founders and employees hold.

It depends on instrument and jurisdiction; in the US, early exercise, 83(b) elections, and QSBS treatment materially change outcomes, so get specific advice early.
