equity license

An equity license is an agreement that grants someone access to a company's ownership rights, often in the form of shares or stakes, in exchange for specific contributions like funding, expertise, or resources. Unlike a licensing agreement that typically involves rights to use a product or technology, an equity license provides partial ownership, aligning the licensee's interests with the company's success. This arrangement can help startups or businesses gain necessary support while sharing future profits or equity. It’s a strategic way to collaborate, grow, and invest in the company's long-term potential.
