Some companies have a profit-share program where they pay a percentage of the profit earned that year to employees in addition to salaries.

  That's great but only for profitable companies which doesn't describe most startups. The other reason they usually use equity is because they're relatively cash poor

    The company I work for has in past years paid a bonus based on metrics that try to approximately characterize the value being created at the company. This could be considered an alternative to profit-share for companies that have no profit.

    I was leaning more towards a profitable business than a startup in my thinking.
