Share Class - a webinar by Share Council

Don't waste your summer

Q4 is fundraising season, and investors read a cap table in one look. Employee options take weeks to set up, not days. Spend one lunch break in August getting yours in order, so September finds you raising instead of scrambling.

On the board for August 18th

 

Today's lesson: before you raise, share.

 
  1. 1

    Why fix equity before you raise

    The Dutch employee-equity gap in plain numbers: 15% of US employees hold equity in their company, against 7% in the EU.* What that gap means for hiring, retention, and the round you're planning for Q4.

  2. 2

    Options and pools in practice

    Sizing an option pool before the term sheet sizes it for you, setting a strike price you can defend, and the month-to-month management side nobody warns you about.

  3. 3

    A live launch

    We've built something new with the Equidam team. It goes live in this session, on screen, with a full walkthrough. First look for everyone in the room.

  4. 4

    Q&A

    Ask the awkward ones. Vesting, leavers, dilution, the works.

We are launching something new. Live.

Share Council and Equidam have spent the summer building one answer to "how do I get my team on options without months of legal back-and-forth?". It launches in this session, price included. We won't say more before the 18th; register and you'll see it first.
