Finance is not always about numbers - it is also about creativity. Companies often hand out special tickets that give investors and employees a unique way to share in their success. Letโ€™s break it down:

Imagine you buy a concert ticket ๐ŸŽถ โ€ฆ and it comes with a coupon to attend another show at a fixed price, even if tickets sell out later.
That is a warrant: a company-issued option that lets you buy stock at a set price. They are often attached to bonds to make them more appealing.

Think of a movie pass ๐ŸŽฅ that can be swapped halfway through for VIP backstage access. A convertible bond starts as debt (steady interest payments) but can be exchanged for shares if the company does well. Safety + upside = why investors love them.

Startups, in particular, canโ€™t always pay big salaries, so they offer employees โ€œoptionsโ€ instead. Itโ€™s like joining a gym ๐Ÿ‹๏ธ with a rule: you can only use the premium facilities after sticking around for a few years. If the company grows, employees cash in big - but if not, the options may expire worthless.

All three instruments give people a reason to bet on the companyโ€™s future success. Warrants and convertibles woo investors. Employee stock options keep talent motivated.
