This Toolkit includes resources addressing the key issues that startup companies should consider when entering into employment-related agreements with founders, employees, and executives at various stages of a startup's lifecycle. Resources in the Toolkit cover offer letters and employment agreements, equity compensation issues, including issuing restricted stock to founders and employees, granting stock options, such as incentive stock options (ISOs), non-qualified or non-statutory stock options (NSOs), or restricted stock units (RSUs) to employees and executives under an equity incentive plan, vesting and acceleration of equity incentives, filing Section 83(b) elections, and Section 409A compliance. The Toolkit also contains resources to help startups to protect their intellectual property (IP) and goodwill, including proprietary information and invention assignments (PIIAs).
