A virtual share is a financial instrument to give your contributors stake in your business' success to secure long term loyal relationships with them.
A virtual share is a contract between your company and the contributor under which the company determines the rights that the contributor will get as a virtual shareholder and the conditions for making a payout (e.g. meeting the business goals, exit or IPO, certain revenue threshold etc).
