Questions about the executive offer letter template.
Double-trigger acceleration?
Equity vests immediately if (1) company acquired AND (2) executive terminated without cause or constructively. Both triggers required. Standard for VP+.
Why indemnification?
Executives can be personally named in lawsuits. Indemnification means company covers legal costs. Table stakes at the executive level.
Need counsel review?
Yes. Executive offers involve enough variables (state, equity plan terms, change-of-control definitions) that custom review is worth it.
