Beyond Salary: Stock Options, Equity & Alternative Forms of Compensation
Most of us default to one model: salary or daily rate.
But in reality, there are many other ways to get compensated:
— stock options
— advisory shares
— revenue sharing
— success fees
— hybrid deals
Some of us in the Hirondo community have experimented with these models; sometimes successfully, sometimes not. This private session is a candid discussion to share:
When does it make sense to accept equity instead of cash?
How do you negotiate these deals concretely?
What are the hidden risks (liquidity, dilution, time horizon…)?
How do you evaluate if it’s worth it without having to become a finance expert?
What worked… and what failed?
This is not a financial or legal masterclass.
It’s a peer discussion between experienced operators sharing real-life decisions and trade-offs.
⚠️ As always with Hirondo Private Sessions: No recording, no slides, no selling, just honest conversations.
Only for Hirondo community members.
