Show Notes
Hiring, or promoting, a person into an executive role often requires the Founder to offer an equity incentive to the key employee. This requirement drives a need to understand what the firm is worth today, and how much of the future value should be shared with the key employee.
In this episode, Collective 54 member, Michael Daoud, discusses how he valued his firm, and how he structured the equity share with the key employee. By listening to this episode you will learn when to use an appraisal firm, when to do-it-yourself, and get introduced to a new tool, The Firm Estimator. Members who participated in the private Q&A with Michael will hear the details of the offer, and the negotiations.
