Agile Partnerships™
Ever been in a situation where somebody promises to do something but fails to deliver?
We have devised a new way of providing equity rewards in a way that is fair for all shareholders. Agile Partnerships™ are used by startups, scaleups and late-stage companies.
What are Agile Partnerships™?
Agile Partnerships™ are frameworks that determine equity rewards based on agreed performance milestones. Everybody knows what they’re expected to bring to the game. Equity is released in a way that is proportionate to what people contribute.
Let’s explore how they are being used...
Starting up
Founders tend to incentivise co-founders and key hires with equity, but some people walk away with a slice of the business before contributing what they promised. Agile Partnerships™ prevent this from happening.

Changing course
Even the best planned businesses will sometimes need to change direction. And occasionally a bigger shakeup is required: new goals, new people, new terms. Agile Partnerships™ allow you to get everybody aligned.

Waving goodbye
When shareholders move on from a business Agile Partnerships™ can be used to gradually release equity to the newcomers. They can also be used as the basis for a company sale, to govern earn-outs over an agreed timescale.

Vestd has the most user-friendly platform and was built for UK businesses, by a team of genuine experts that helped us to get everything set up. What they don’t know about share schemes isn’t worth knowing.
David Biggs, CFO, Pusher

Our customers say good things...
Using our equity to boost business has been a revelation. We needed more customers but wanted to ensure they were right for us and that we could offer them loads of value. By inviting them to be shareholders we’ve created a real community of advocates.
Chris Drummond, Crafted Crate

Our customers say good things...
Vestd was great. Loads easier and simpler than doing this the traditional way. Though almost all of the process could be completed online without any direct communication, the Vestd team were always available to answer specific questions at various stages.

This is the go-to online platform for Founders & CEOs who have zero time to learn and execute the intricacies of tax and equity distribution law.

Vestd has been a brilliant tool for us. We recently closed a $1.1m seed round, and knowing that all the information is stored and processed in one place has been a massive time-saver. The calculators are handy and the dashboard is well-designed. We will definitely be using Vestd to manage our EMI option scheme going forward too. Overall, I would 100% recommend it to other founders.

Kari Honkanen, Koodaa

As a Founder, I wanted to reward my early stage team with shares, but with conditions attached. It’s been incredibly simple to use Vestd to build my team, and now that we have successfully completed our first major round of funding, we are looking for everyone to share in our success.
Leon Ifayemi, SPCE

We needed a solution that had the right balance of speed, quality and affordability. Vestd excelled for us on all three. The level of service was far beyond what you’d expect from a software product.

The onboarding was really nice. UX flow is great, well thought out and intuitive. I’m not overstating it when I say it’s the best software service that we use.
