REFRESHING EQUITY GRANTS: RETAIN AND REWARD TOP TALENT

Summary from the TLDR Founders newsletter

As companies approach the end of early employees' vesting schedules, it's important to define a clear compensation philosophy and set a strategy for equity grants. This includes determining when and why to issue new hire, retention, promotion, and performance-based grants, while ensuring continuous vesting through methods like boxcar grants to avoid gaps in equity incentives. Regular reviews and data-driven approaches help ensure that employees remain motivated and fairly compensated.
