Startups often use equity compensation to attract and retain talent by offering employees a stake in the company, but the structure of this compensation can vary widely. Key decisions include how much equity to reserve for employees, which roles should be eligible, and whether to use stock options or RSUs, with considerations for vesting periods and exercise windows. While equity compensation can motivate and align employees with company success, it also risks dilution of founder control and can be complex to manage, especially across different jurisdictions and stages of company growth.
