When a company sells, key engineers and executives often jump ship before the deal closes, destroying value for the acquirer. In this episode, Lucas and Luna examine the rise of stay bonuses — retention-based compensation tied to remaining through acquisition. They unpack how late-stage startup Cyera structured a $25 million retention pool ahead of its rumored $12 billion exit, and how the presence of earnouts in recent defense-tech deals like Mach Industries signals a shift toward keeping technical teams on payroll post-close. The hosts also connect the trend to current market volatility: with Palantir down 15% in five days and Coinbase off 16%, acquirers are increasingly demanding proof that talent won't bolt. Lucas walks through the typical stay-bonus math — 25% to 50% of base salary, cliff-vested at closing — and explains why the SEC is starting to scrutinize these payouts as non-standard compensation. A conversation for anyone who's ever wondered what happens to the team after the champagne. #StayBonuses #MergersAndAcquisitions #FounderLiquidity #TalentRetention #Cyera #MachIndustries #ExitPlanning #DealStructuring #PrivateCompensation #SECScrutiny #Earnouts #Palantir #Coinbase #LateStageStartup #Business #Technology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
