The time-based release of stock or stock options — typically over four years, with a one-year cliff at the beginning.
Why it matters
It retains the team and protects the company from situations where someone leaves after three months with a large equity package.
What's missing without it
Without it, a co-founder who leaves after six months keeps one-third of the company forever.
When it is used
In founder agreements and employee stock option programs.
How we use it
Four years, one-year cliff: after the first year, 25%, then monthly increments thereafter.
Fun fact
The cliff is the period after which you receive your first tranche — and also the most common time for employees to leave the company. HR statistics show a clear spike in resignations right after it expires.
