I actually think investors put enough of a premium on equity vs many employees that a reasonable case can be made for very tight equity distribution, using something like this proposed model, and periodic cash bonuses. I actually have an even weirder idea for equity in big companies -- each class of incoming employees gets founder shares in a company comprised of hires. (Per month, per team, not sure); essentially like a PEO. Company buys that entity giving employees a capital gain related to their group's contribution at purchase time. Standard 4/1 repurchase on the founder shares within that group.
