Founder Shares: How much equity compensation for each founder; ideas on how to split equity 

Love the Slicing Pie approach 👍

really some good points. I am discussing this with my cofounder partner today.

agree that founder funds should be treated as separate investment. founders should get access to the same investment opportunities as investors.

Learning, noting... Thank you for this channel!

Thanks for making this video. With regard to your concerns at 22 minutes. Slicing Pie participants wouldn't just take into account a bigger company's the salary will reflect the requirements of the startup position.

Very timely advice, thank you!

Thanks for this insightful video.

Very well explained. Thank you so much for lot of clarity I got. 👏👍🙏

Thanks so much for the content. I feel like I found a portion of the answer I’m looking for. I really just need a clear answer though. I just got offered a position of CMO as a co-founder and I have been offered 5% of the company but I’m not quite sure what I should ask for or expect as a salary.. because it’s a start up I’m trying to figure out how exactly do I get paid actual money.. 😅I’m afraid to ask because I don’t want to seem nervous and get duped for my lack of understanding. this is my first time stepping into a position like this. I’ve only ever done Marketing and Consulting. this is a whole new world to me. I would really appreciate it if anybody had any answers as to what I should ask for as an initial salary or how I should go about acquiring a payment outside of equity because we are in the pre-seed/seed round so the company doesn’t have much money. What should I ask as far as a salary agreement and expect it to scale overtime?

Thank you very much for all your great efforts and wishing you all the best ameen 🌹

Thinking about setting aside 15% for employees and offering my two cofounders 10% each in stock options plus using slicing pie multiples to create a 5-10 year I.O.U. to compensate their work on top (2x hourly rate and 4x money invested).

Can anyone help with suggesting a video that addresses equity shares when buying and operating a franchise? Where there is a financial investing partner and another partner is investing time running the company

With the slicing pie approach, wouldn’t the vesting period have to be 1 year? If my typically consulting fee is $300/hr and I obligate myself to work for a startup for 20 hrs per month this equates to 240 hrs over the year. At a 6M valuation, this would equate to 1.2% equity. But what if the vesting period is 2 years? Wouldn’t this dilute my equity in half when in fact I am contributing 480 hrs over two years which would be 0.6% equity each year over two years. Could you help me understand this a little more?

Also the other cofounders didn’t sign their vesting agreements. Should I follow suit....And does that mean that Because no one signed the agreement does that means that we all would fully own our shares upfront.

Hello, I need contingency ip lawyer very urgent. I have big problem with one big website

I was a minor at the time I was a co-founder of a company that has now grew to one of the most successful companies that in my view has literally changed the w😂ld ! I was told that some heavy weights were after the company and were going to screw me out of my % that had been agreed t on a contract we all signed with an attorney present at the time . The co. Was acquired due to a leverage buyout. I signed another contract stating that I was the one who created the name of the co. (Trademark) that is now one of the largest global brands ever. ❤ what can I do to find my stake in the company that surely may have never came to be if it weren't for my role played in the startup of the company?
