Slicing Pie
Why?
Fun along the way BIG
PAYOUT HARD WORK
Fun along the way ? HARD WORK
Success Criteria 1. Lots of money 2. I get my fair share
Fair = Fun
Your Share % =
The Value of Your Contribution The Total Value
Perfectly Fair Equity Calculation:
Fixed Equity Split
67% split equity at the outset of the venture
* Wasserman/Hellman
“50/50” “33.3/33.3/33.3” “25/25/25/25”
90%+ of startups do equal splits
“60/40” “51/49”
“25/30/45”
You do all the work?
You bring in another guy?
Your partner wants to quit?
1,000,000 other things?
But, what if…
You want to quit?
Your CTO gets hit by a bus?
Your Share % >
The Value of Your Contribution The Total Value
Your Share % <
The Value of Your Contribution The Total Value
