What you need to know as a founding team member about stock options and long term incentives.
Stock benefits grants represent a way of sharing in a company’s success, but for first-time entrepreneurs and early start-up employees it might difficult to understand what kind of stock benefits there are and how they work. This Expert class will explore equity from different angles and developmental stages of a life sciences company. The choices that are made at the incorporation of a company may have great impact later on. Key terms to include in a shareholders agreement, how to allocate stock benefits to founders and early team members, equity dilution from future investors throughout the funding rounds and vesting will be discussed. But also your rights and liabilities as a shareholder will be addressed. Carine van den Brink and Marnix Posthumus Meyjes from Axon Lawyers, Anisa Kazia from EY and Sebastian Nijman, founder and CSO Scenic Biotech, will share their insights and answer your questions during the expert class.
The expert class program is set up in an interactive way such that the participants are asked to present in 3 slides their company and shareholder related question(s) for the experts. The experts will give you feedback on your questions.
