Reward and motivate staff with share options

One of the key challenges facing Irish founders is how to reward and retain great people when cash flow is tight—while still keeping teams motivated by the long-term vision.

Join me and Ed Popham to explore how share options can be used to align your team with your company’s ambition and build a culture of ownership from day one.

If you’re growing a startup and want to keep your team engaged without overextending on salary, this session will give you the tools to design and manage an effective share options scheme.
