Without employee participation plans, companies miss the opportunity to incentivize young people to work in a startup by profiting from its success.
Johannes Reck, CEO @ GetYourGuide
I am convinced companies grow thanks to the people they attract and employ. Let’s reduce complexity and enable founders to let their members be part of the companies’ success.
Janina Mütze, CEO @ Civey
We can’t compete for the best global talent without having a broad and easy-to-handle employee participation scheme.
Dr. Tamaz Georgadze, CEO @ Raisin
I want everyone in the company to participate in its success from the beginning. In the US this is already the norm, but in Germany, it’s still complicated.
Christian Reber, CEO @ Pitch
The powerful synergy of our law firm’s expertise and Ledgy’s founder-oriented technology is paving the way to spread knowledge on how to involve employees in a startup’s success.
Maria Weiers, Partner @ Taylor Wessing
Employee participation plans are key to taking a startup to the next level. We combined our legal expertise and PSOP templates together with Ledgy, so that German startups can reward their talented employees.
Dr. Thomas Gemmeke, Head of Legal @ Baker Tilly
Any initiative that makes it easier for companies and employees to increase their use of stock options is a welcome one. We applaud Ledgy for helping entrepreneurs in Germany to set up robust and fair virtual stock option schemes. Our hope is that legislators in Germany will make reforming stock option policies a priority in 2020, allowing employees to receive real stock options, not just virtual ones.
