Future Proof Your Equity Compensation Plan

Equity compensation is one of the key ways that startups and growing organizations attract talent, reward employees, align behavior with business goals, and encourage loyalty. At the start, the equity compensation plan is often managed by one person, using spreadsheets to track which types of awards have been granted to whom and to manually apply valuations and amortization schedules. As the company grows, the job of tracking and managing equity plans for a growing employee base becomes exponentially more difficult. And heading into an IPO, the disclosure and compliance requirements surrounding equity compensation plans become dramatically more complex — and the penalties for getting it wrong infinitely more serious.
