About the event

As the war for talent heats up, European startups are offering more equity to employees. Stock options can incentivise employees to stick along for the ride, so what are the building blocks of a successful scheme? This Sifted Talks will explore how startups can help their day ones get a share of the future spoils — and how staff can know their worth.
