ESOPs Through the Employee-Owner Experience

January 8, 2026

Employee Stock Ownership Plans (ESOPs) are more than a transaction structure. They are a long-term ownership model that can align employees, management, and shareholders around sustainable growth and shared value creation.

In this video, Mosaic Capital Partners brings the ESOP concept to life through the voices of employees from Mosaic portfolio companies who are also ESOP participants. These employee owners share their firsthand experiences, offering a real-world perspective on what ownership means day-to-day and how it influences engagement, accountability, and long-term thinking across the organization.

Alongside these personal insights, the video provides a clear overview of how ESOPs work, when they may be an effective ownership solution, and the strategic considerations business owners should evaluate when exploring employee ownership as part of their succession or capital-planning strategy.

By pairing technical understanding with lived experience, the discussion illustrates how ESOPs can support continuity, culture, and long-term value creation for all stakeholders.
