Early stage startups are limited by the amount of cash they can raise. Google, FB and many other public tech companies are hurting the startup ecosystem with high salaries and RSUs. EquityX offers top early stage VCs & Accelerators an elegant solution of awarding founders & employees of their startups with the upside of other startups funded by them. EquityX enables the alignment between the investor, its startups and the startups’ founders and employees. Startups can be at different stages with different valuations. The only link these startups have in common is that they are funded by the same investor or a group of top investors that decides to group together to create one branded token. Branded token economy is an evergreen “fund”, representing the investor’s brand. Perkins Coie is serving as lead legal counsel to EquityX along with a team of key advisers.
