Equity and vesting — the first 30 days

Equity and vesting is the topic every second team in the cohort asks about in week one. This post is short: what to do, what not to do, and which number to watch.

Why it matters

Because a mistake here is cheap now and expensive later. Equity and vesting is not a task you finish once; it is a habit that comes back every week.

  • One channel, one month
  • The number picks the channel
  • Closing a channel that failed is a result

If the number does not grow, that is an answer too.

How to do it

  1. Talk to ten people
  2. Put the answers in a table
  3. Pick the three most painful
  4. Sketch a solution for those three
  5. Show it to ten more
