The Startup Advisor Equity Agreement is essential when companies seek to engage experienced advisors by offering equity instead of cash compensation. This document, governed by English and Welsh law, establishes the framework for the advisory relationship, including specific details about equity grants, vesting schedules, and service expectations. It protects both parties' interests while ensuring compliance with UK corporate and securities regulations. The agreement is particularly valuable for early-stage startups looking to leverage expertise while preserving cash resources.
