English term or phrase: to take an equity position
After several years working together, they were comfortable with me, so I became an early experiment. I was able "to take an equity position", arrange clear performance parameters, and get the owners to agree that they would let me run with it - including the ability to hire and fire.

I'm not sure what they mean here.
TIA for any hints and suggestions.
