Helping high-performance companies build teams that last.

Retain key employees without giving up equity.

Schedule a Call See How It Works

Built for private companies that want to retain their key people.

Longpass

Retention. Recognition. Alignment.

The Problem

Key employees are hard to replace.

When a key employee leaves, the company loses more than a person. It loses knowledge, customer relationships, operational consistency, and trust inside the team.

What owners usually try

Most owners start with familiar tools.

These tools can help, but they often fall short when the goal is to retain a few high-impact employees without adding fixed cost, complexity, or ownership concerns.

Raise compensation

It can help in the short term, but it adds fixed cost and competitors can still outbid you.

Offer informal promises

It creates expectations, but often lacks structure, visibility, and consistency.

Consider equity or ESOPs

These can be powerful, but they are often expensive, legally complex, and difficult to implement for many private companies.

The gap is finding a retention approach that feels meaningful for employees, structured for the company, and practical to manage.

The Solution

Ownership-like alignment, without real ownership.

Longpass helps private companies reward selected key employees through phantom units tied to company performance. It creates visible, structured alignment without giving up equity, control, or ownership rights.

Select key employees

Focus the plan on the people who matter most to retention.

Performance-linked value

Employee value grows with company performance.

Quarterly visibility

Employees can clearly see how value updates over time.

Controlled liquidity

Companies decide when liquidity windows are available.
