Key considerations in Founders Agreement
Anisha Patnaik, Founder
ESOP (employee stock options plan) is an employee benefit plan that gives workers ownership rights in the company. ESOPs, Advisor Equity, Mentor Stock are terms that every startup founder comes across once they form their company. But is that all? More often than not, what is not clear is the difference between these terms.
How are ESOPs (employee stock options) different from mentor stock? What is advisor equity? Can I give ESOPs to my co-founders'? Do I need a grant letter when I have already mentioned ESOPs in my employee's offer letter? Who will have to bear the tax on ESOPs?
Find the answers to these questions and more in our workshop on structuring options and incentives.
