Equity & Compensation

How to structure equity, share options, and compensation when you can't compete on salary. Discuss EMI schemes (including the April 2026 expansion), vesting schedules, option pool sizing, salary benchmarking by stage, and how to explain an equity offer so candidates actually understand it. If you've set up an EMI scheme, negotiated equity as an early employee, or figured out how to pay yourself as a founder — share what you learned. EMI options, CSOP, vesting, salary benchmarks, equity splits, BADR tax rates.
