[Webinar] Equity Without Borders: The Legal and Tax Traps of Hiring Globally

​In this session, Charlie O’Donnell of nextNYC sits down with Amit Majumder of Qapita to break down what founders and operators actually need to know before they extend that next global offer, from choosing the right instrument (options vs. RSUs vs. phantom equity) by jurisdiction, to the contractor-vs-employee-vs-EOR distinctions that change everything, to what happens when an employee vests in one country and moves to another.

​Hiring across borders has never been easier, but granting equity across borders is still a minefield. The same stock option that's straightforward for your employee in New York can trigger tax at grant in one country, fail to vest enforceably in another, and create securities and withholding obligations you didn't know you had. Get it wrong and you're not just facing penalties; you're handing your best international hires a comp package that quietly doesn't work.

​Speakers:

​Amit Majumder, Head of Equity Management, Qapita

​Moderated by Charlie O'Donnell of nextNYC

​What you'll leave with:

• ​A framework for deciding which equity instrument fits which country

• ​The most common (and most expensive) mistakes startups make granting equity abroad

• ​How to think about timing, when tax hits, and why it varies so much

• ​Practical guidance on documentation, vesting enforceability, and employee mobility

​Who should attend: Founders, COOs, heads of people, and finance leads at any company hiring (or planning to hire) outside their home country.
