What Is the Purpose of a Reverse Vesting Agreement?

A reverse vesting agreement is a mechanism where a team member or founder receives all their tokens upfront, but the company has the right to repurchase the unvested portion if the person leaves before the vesting schedule is complete. Its purpose is to grant immediate full ownership while still maintaining the project's control over unearned tokens, simplifying the initial token transfer process.
