Best Vesting Schedule ?

4
We’re bringing on a CMO with a 7% equity stake. Since we’re pre-revenue and pre-launch, this allocation feels appropriate. I want to structure the best possible vesting schedule to ensure he feels fully invested in the company’s success while also protecting against potential issues down the line. Any recommendations?

As Steve said, 1ycliff, 4y vest is standard, but more importantly, why are you bringing on a CMO pre-launch and pre-revenue?!

1-year cliff, 4-year vest is pretty standard

I’d say the best vesting schedule is one that feels fair to you while aligning with the company
