Pulley comes with pre-made vesting schedules, seen below by going to Company (left navigation) --> Vesting Schedules.

However, the occasion may arise where you need to put in a vesting schedule that doesn't already exist on Pulley. Pulley has a variety of different ways users can make vesting schedules to suit every iteration.


A quick comparison of when to use each vesting mode

Vesting Mode

When to use

Template

  • When the relevant vesting schedule has either no cliffs or 1 cliff;

  • When the same amount or proportion of shares vests every period- whether that is monthly, quarterly, etc.

Milestone

  • When you need to attach milestone vesting security, and wish to detail what those events that need to be satisfied are (e.g. 1000 shares are to be vested when the company is valued at 1 mil).

Custom

  • The vesting schedule has two cliffs or more;

  • The amount that vests per period is not consistent for the entirety of the vesting schedule (e.g. 50 shares may vest in month 1, then 70 shares in month 2, 3 shares in month 3, etc.)
