Make equity simple for your employees. Our cheat sheet explains stock plan terminology in plain language – so you don’t have to.
Equity compensation can feel like a jungle of jargon. For many employees, unfamiliar terms are the barrier that stops them from fully engaging with their awards.

- The basics of equity
- Stock plan types
- Vesting and ownership
