[Webinar] Grant Refresh: When Your Best People's Equity Stops Motivating Them

​In this session, Charlie O’Donnell of nextNYC sits down with Chris Hofmann of Qapita for a 30-minute live session on building a refresh strategy that actually retains people.

​Every option grant looks great on the day it's issued. Four years later, half your team is sitting on equity that's deep underwater, fully vested, or just... not exciting anymore. That's the moment good people start taking recruiter calls. Not because they're unhappy, but because their equity stopped doing its job.

​Grant refreshes are how companies keep ownership meaningful over the life of an employee's tenure, but most founders and People teams are improvising: no clear policy on when to refresh, how much to grant, how to handle repricing after a down round, or how to explain any of it to a team that's already skeptical of "another options conversation."

​You'll walk away understanding:

• ​When to start thinking about refresh grants and the warning signs you've waited too long

• ​How to size a refresh without blowing up your option pool

• ​What to do about underwater grants after a down round or flat round

• ​How to communicate a refresh (or the decision not to do one) without triggering a wave of anxiety

• ​Where the administrative burden actually lives, and how the right tooling keeps refresh cycles from becoming a fire drill every year
