Retention: Are Equity Grants the Only Answer?

Whether you're an investor or a founder -- you care about retaining employees - but giving out equity dilutes your share of the pie with almost no risk to employees. This session explores alternatives to the traditional "risk free to the receiver" equity grants used by founders to attract and retain employees.

You'll Learn

• Which employees should get equity? Who is really a key employee?
• Legal ways to adjust and protect equity granted to key employees
• New tools that pair employee engagement and manager coaching - with measurable results
• How outsourced services can help startups provide "big company" benefits and services to startup employees
