Join serial entrepreneur and professor Dr. Greg Watson as he tackles one of the most critical—and irreversible—decisions early-stage founders face: when and how much equity to offer that game-changing first employee. In this focused Q&A episode, you’ll discover the strategic framework for evaluating equity decisions, avoiding costly mistakes that could haunt your cap table for years, and timing these conversations before top talent walks away. Whether you’re a first-time founder wrestling with your initial hire or scaling through rapid growth, Dr. Watson delivers actionable insights that could save your startup thousands in dilution while securing the team you need to win.
