Description
Jason Green, Founding Partner at Emergence Capital, shares insights into how entrepreneurs should think about establishing an option pool. Green suggests reserving 20% to 30% of the ownership as an option pool and to think about sharing wealth in order to create a bigger pie rather than holding to tight to a smaller pie.
