Many startups offer equity compensation to employees as part of their overall total compensation package when they join the company, giving them a small ownership stake in the company. This is known as a new hire equity grant – equity granted to the employee when they are first hired and join the team.
Private companies often retain certain rights upon the grant of equity. These rights may include a right of first refusal, a stock buyback, and/or repurchase rights. Preferred Shareholder Rights: Upon the sale of the private company, preferred shareholders would have the right to any proceeds before others.
The goal of an equity grant is to motivate and retain talent by providing them with a tangible stake in the company's success. As the company's value increases, so does the value of the equity granted, offering employees the potential for financial gains.
