Did you catch the UK Autumn Statement yesterday? Private Banker International covered Ledgy CEO Yoko's thoughts on the Chancellor's pension investment reforms:

"Managing new pension fund investors may be quite different to traditional venture capital (VC) investor relations. VC investors are used to dealing with scaleups where the business model is higher risk. It will need a real mindset shift from UK pension funds to give scaling companies and founders the support they need."

In a new open letter, Ledgy's Yoko Spirig and Crowdcube VP Secondaries Mathias Pastor outline the case for why tech companies need to protect employees in periods of uncertainty.

Why should employers protect their people's equity – even when they resign? Why is it imperative to improve employees' financial literacy? 

"We are calling on tech firms to educate their employees about their equity, be transparent about its value, and – if the company reaches a crunch moment relating to personnel, fundraising or exit events – do everything possible to protect employee equity during this challenging time."

The ratification of the Future Financing Act by the Bundestag is a huge moment for German tech. 

From January 1st 2024, improvements to German ESOP will include:

- Doubling of the threshold for turnover to qualify for better employee share options
- Increasing the max number of employees from 250 to 1,000
- Older companies now have scope to participate: companies up to 20 years old will now be eligible

Congratulations to everyone at Startup-Verband, founders like Julian Teicke and Hanno Renner, and members of the tech ecosystem who have advocated for this vital change!
