Last month, one of our best hires turned down an offer most people would frame and hang on a wall. It paid more than ours. He took ours anyway. Here’s the deal every founding hire at Enobase gets and why he said yes: You take a pay cut to join. In exchange, you get real equity, and a public ladder that pays it back. Three milestones. Public. No fine print. - 50k€ MRR = rate goes up 25% - 100k€ MRR = up another 50% - 200k€ MRR = up another 25% Hit them, and you’re paid above market - on top of the equity you’ve held since day one. The bet is simple. Ask people to bet on us, and bet on them back. That’s how you compete with San Francisco for the same talent. This week we’re welcoming Victor Mustin, Gustavo Maduro Vollmer, Thomas Groutars, Maxime Podgorski, Paul Chatelain and Thibaut Lienart to Enobase’s technical staff. They had every door open. They picked this one. European founders: if you’re not structured this way, feel free to copy us. DM me and I’ll send you our framework. The talent gap closes when more of us do this. ⚡🇪🇺
