What is an Employee Stock Pool (ESOP)?

The Employee Stock Option Pool (ESOP) consists of an actual number of shares, issued separately. The Employee Stock Option Pool is fully preserved to be offered to key employees. Issuing such a pool will dilute the initial percentage of the founder’s ownership, and these stocks will be given away as stock options with a vesting schedule.
