background:
we are past the zero startup stage
company has production software(s) ( running at several corporations)
software is targeted towards a $5+ B marketplace
we have multi year contracts over $1M
several key hires are done and 2 more are imminent

goal:
$100M+ in 2 years

problem:
how do we distribute equity to employees (retain and recruit)
how do we structure corporation for VC relationships (money = equity +
help ??)

input will be appreciated.
