TopicHeard in 1 episode across 1 show since Sep 2026
Advisor equity refers to the practice of compensating startup advisors with equity or stock options in exchange for their strategic guidance, mentorship, and industry connections. Typically structured as advisory shares or options that vest over a period of one to two years, this compensation aligns the advisor's incentives with the long-term growth and success of the company. It is commonly formalized using standardized templates like the Founder Institute's Founder Advisor Standard Template (FAST) agreement.

Advisor equity can use performance-based vesting instead of solely monthly vesting.
“You know, you can, you can add performance. Based vesting instead of just purely monthly vesting onto advisors.”

Advisor equity generally continues vesting until the agreement is actively terminated.
“Unless there is an active termination, it just continues, which means they've been sitting out there. You think you're not using them, but they're still, they're still earning their equity.”
