My co-founder and I vested our shares in our last business in much the same way that you outlined. “Transparency” was one of our core operating principals, and an additional benefit was that follow-on “founding team” members (all in-demand S-tier engineers) could see that our vesting schedule exactly matched theirs, which greatly aided their recruitment.
So great to hear this, Ram. There's something very uplifting in being able to tell your team that you're on the same terms that they are. That transparency, as you said, goes a lot way.
