Cliff
Определение
A cliff is the initial period of a vesting schedule during which no equity vests; if the person leaves before the cliff, they keep nothing. The standard is one year.
Как это возникает в процессе рейза
The classic startup grant is four-year vesting with a one-year cliff: 25 percent vests at month 12, then monthly thereafter.
Часто задаваемые вопросы
Why do cliffs exist?
They protect the company from giving permanent equity to people who leave quickly, keeping the cap table clean of short tenures.
Do founders have cliffs too?
Investors expect founder vesting with a cliff, which also protects co-founders from each other if someone exits early.
