What’s an ESOP? 🤔 It’s a way for founders to offer employees a stake in the company, often in the form of shares or options. It’s not just about compensation—it’s a powerful tool to motivate, retain, and align your team with the long-term success of your startup.

At this event, we’ll dive deeper into:

• What exactly is an ESOP? Breaking it down for those new to the concept.
• Common pitfalls and how to avoid them.
• Why it matters for your startup’s future: ESOPs can help you build a stronger, more dedicated team.
• Key considerations when setting up your ESOP—get it right the first time!

Hosted by The Startup Network and our partners at William Buck, this event is your chance to:

• Gain practical insights into structuring ESOPs that benefit both you and your team.
• Hear from experts in startup legal structures, tax, and capital management.
• Learn from founders who have successfully implemented ESOPs.
