Incentivize Employees and Advisors 

Companies looking for a way to incentivize their employees or advisors will find the right solution with Tokenize.it's employee participation program. It offers benefits not only for founders, but also for employees and advisors.

An Innovative Incentivization Method

Retaining and motivating employees are critical success factors for any company. With virtual shares, as offered through Tokenize.it, companies can implement a modern and flexible form of employee participation — without the complexity and bureaucracy of traditional models such as ESOP or VSOP.

How It Works

Virtual shares are digital, economic participations that enable employees and advisors to share in the success of the company without needing to be registered as shareholders in the commercial register. Participation plans can be set up entirely digitally in minutes and require no notarization.

Benefits for Companies

✅ Flexible design: Individual vesting plans and cliffs can be defined.

✅ Minimal bureaucracy: No notary appointment or commercial register entry required — unlike traditional ESOPs.

✅ Full control for founders: Since virtual shares do not grant direct shareholder rights, decision-making authority is fully retained.

✅ Attractive incentive model: Virtual shares can be issued as a bonus or profit participation to retain employees and advisors long-term.

✅ Liquidity potential: Employees and advisors benefit from value appreciation or can monetize their shares at certain events (e.g. exit, liquidation).

Benefits for Employees

✔ Participation in company success: Direct economic participation, similar to shareholders.

✔ Motivation and loyalty: The prospect of financial benefits increases identification with the company.

✔ Tax advantages: No immediate tax liability upon issuance; a tax obligation arises when the virtual shares are created. This timing can be freely chosen by the employee.
