Set Up Your Equity Plan for Founders and Employees

See what it's for, when to use it, and what you'll get with this prompt.

What it does

If you want to retain top talent by offering equity but you do not know how to structure it legally, how much to grant, over what period, what happens if the person leaves, you are setting yourself up for serious problems down the road. This prompt creates customized vesting plans that clearly define the rules of the game: who earns how much, on what schedule, under which conditions, and what happens in every exit scenario. Use it when you are hiring key people for your startup, when you need to formalize equity promises you made verbally, or when you want to launch an equity-based retention program.

When to use

  • When you are hiring key people for your startup and want to offer equity in a structured, legally sound way
  • When you need to formalize equity promises you made verbally to early hires or co-founders
  • When you want to launch a vesting plan that defines schedules, cliffs, conditions, and exit scenarios clearly
  • When you want a retention program built on equity and need to set the rules before issues arise

What you will get

A structured deliverable ready to use, tailored to your specific context.
