Let’s say you work at an early stage startup that took in outside funding. You receive company stock or options as part of your compensation. Along with it came a big document with bunch of legalese that makes your head spin.

You can’t help but wonder, what does it all mean?

Come learn the basics of startup equity. To RSVP, please click here.

You may also have these questions:

– What is the value of my equity?

– When can I turn it into money I can put in my pocket?

– What is a vesting schedule, and why should I care?

– What is dilution, and how does it impact the value of my equity?

If you have these questions, you are not alone. For you, I’ve gathered the best insights from leading venture capitalists such as Fred Wilson, Brad Feld, and Andy Payne. I’ve consulted leading startup lawyers for best practices in negotiating startup equity.

I then organized all the best knowledge into a class format to help answer these questions. By the end of this class, you’ll know the basic essentials of startup equity. My goal is to help you better understand the nuts and bolts of your equity compensation so that you can confidently negotiate for your worth in the workplace.

And to address the legalese, co-teacher and startup lawyer Ekaterina Mouratova will answer your specific legal and tax-related questions.

Thanks!
