A well-crafted compensation philosophy isn’t just a “nice to have”—it’s a critical tool for attracting, retaining, and aligning talent in a fast-moving startup. But most early-stage businesses either skip it or overcomplicate it. In this candid, hands-on session, Matt McFarlane shares a practical framework for defining your unique approach to pay—rooted in your business model, cultural values, and resourcing realities. You’ll walk away with a toolkit to help you make principled trade-offs, communicate your position with confidence, and avoid common pitfalls that erode trust. No fluff, no corporate jargon—just tested strategies and templates you can take straight to your exec team tomorrow.
