Startup jobs paying equity-only.

Job Positions

How it works?

Example deal:

• Fixed-time contract (e.g. 12 months)
• Equity-only compensation
• Vesting schedule lasts as much as the contract (e.g. 12-month contract → 12-month vesting)
• Vesting cliff is also proportionally smaller (12 month vesting → 4-month cliff)

Companies & candidates have full freedom to have completely different deals, add cash component etc. This is just an example

Can you help us with the documents?

Why would companies hire people like this?

They can’t afford cash comp ATM, but they are actively working towards an inflection point.

Why would people work for equity-only?

A few scenarios:

• you want to earn equity in multiple companies in a short period of time without financial investments (standard vesting cliff is 1y when hired on a traditional mix of cash & equity)
• you want to take 6-12 months sabbatical to work on something cool, but can’t-afford/don’t-want-to work for a startup long-term
• you are-studying/have-freshly-graduated your cost of living allows it and you want to get the most experience in the shortest amount of time
• etc.
