The goal of this video seminar is to provide CEOs of VC-backed companies with important information on ensuring their compensation plan and those of other members of the executive team is updated with the equivalent structure, bonus packages and equity compensation being received by other executives of VC-backed companies in 2008. Given the consistent increases in compensation plans being awarded to CEOs of other VC-backed companies, 2008 is the perfect time to approach your board (a move which other CEOs of VC-backed companies consistently do). The video seminar is led by leading venture capital lawyers (Joseph Bartlett, Fish & Richardson PC; Andrew Updegrove, Gesmer Updegrove LLP; Stuart Lewis, Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney PC) who have worked with hundreds of management teams and venture capitalists and have extensive experience in negotiating and structuring compensation plans for executives who have received venture capital funding. The video seminar includes three 45-minute DVDs viewable on any computer, television or video iPod featuring insights and benchmarks unavailable anywhere else. The video seminar focuses on:
Specific changes to compensation structures in 2008 that are already being granted to CEOs of other VC-backed companies that you should ask for from your board of directors (including key provisions to minimize tax exposure, deferred compensation, and equity bonuses often times provisions that do not even cost the company anything additional)
Management contract changes that can provide additional advantages when structuring compensation plans
How to know when you should update your management agreement
Case studies of specific comp plans for executives of VC-backed companies
