Equity Incentives for Growth Companies
Welcome to a joint breakfast seminar hosted by Borenius and Allshares.

Our guest speaker, Elina Holkko from Lifeline Ventures, will share insights into the use of equity incentives from a VC investor’s perspective. Experts from Borenius and Allshares will provide an overview of the upcoming changes and discuss how companies can make practical use of the new rules.
