What I Like About Option Grants for Startup Employees

We have a relatively simple compensation model that also, I think, mostly pays people for the responsibility that we're asking them to take. So our model is essentially there's some dollar amount that we want all of the partners to be earning roughly. And then, depending on their situations, the cash versus equity balance might be a little bit different. We try to give way, way more than as standard for an employee, again, to reflect this kind of being in between an employee and a founder.
