Abstract

Describes issues facing three young founders of a high-tech start-up, including hiring an experienced CEO and negotiating with a potential VC investor. Focuses on the incentive and compensation aspects of negotiating with job candidates (e.g., what percentage of the equity is appropriate to offer) and with venture capitalists (e.g., options-vesting issues). [This case is based on HBS Case 801324 "Stock Options at Virtua.Net."]
