From their earliest days, the leadership at ScorePlay knew they wanted their team to take part in their journey. And that, of course, meant granting them equity. Luckily, that wasnât too challenging in the beginning. After all, they were headquartered in Portugal with employees in Portugal. It got a bit more complex, however, when the company moved to New York. Because now they had two immediate problems.
â
The International Problem
Victorien and Xavier quickly realized their move to the United States had unintended consequences for the new team members they were onboarding. Because transitioning to an international context meant adapting to the laws of every single country they hired from. And thatâs something they absolutely couldnât ignore when it came to granting equity to those international employees.
â
The Education Problem
But beyond the actions that they as a leadership team needed to take, ScorePlay had another problem: how could they get their employees to understand what this all meant? The fact is that this entire process was new to them.  They had never owned equity in a startup or a scale up before.  They didnât know about vesting, cliffs, early exercise ⌠none of it!  Leadership needed a way to help their team understand this benefit, how it worked for them, and why it was so important to the growth of the company.
â
No Time To Waste
ScorePlayâs founders knew they couldnât just rest on their laurels. If they wanted to keep their team motivated and skyrocket their growth, equity was an absolutely vital element of that equation. They had to figure this out quick.
It wasnât simply a question of making their employees happy. ScorePlay was scaling fast. And they needed a way to motivate people to do their absolute best. A small, fast growing company demands nothing less than total focus. And employees with an ownership interest - that was going to be the deciding factor in their success
Luckily, when they brought this issue to the attention of their law firm, the lawyers knew right away to send them to Easop, where they saw immediately how this system solved their problems.

What ScorePlay Loves About Easop
đŁď¸ Xavier Green, Co-Founder @ ScorePlay
"The explanations around equity are truly simple and easy to understand. This has made it a cut above."
Employee Education
Before Easop, ScorePlayâs international team simply didnât understand their equity. But more than that, they didnât even have a reliable source of information. How could they be expected to understand their equity if they couldnât learn how it worked in their country?
Now, by using Easopâs country-specific knowledge base, ScorePlayâs employees have transformed from leaving their equity in some dusty corner of their mind, to using it as a driving motivation to make their company truly great.
â
Offer Drafting
In the past, ScorePlay used to stick a line or two in the employment contract about their team memberâs equity. âWork from home allowance,â âHealth insurance,â âOptions package.â Boring, uninteresting, and most importantly - unmotivating.
By using Easopâs equity offers tool, team members see what theyâre getting, and can learn immediately how it benefits them. No more guessing. Clarity from day one.
â
Customer Service
So many companies offer a service without any support. But with something as sensitive as company equity - that kind of product was an absolute no go. They needed a team that would be on top of any issues and help them find solutions.
At Easop, the focus has always been (and will always be) on helping businesses provide clearer, more compliant equity across the globe. And customer service is baked into that equation. The Easop team fields questions from clients every day, quickly, and with accurate, up to date information.
