This week, Phuong Ireland and I dive into one of the most crucial yet often perplexing aspects of startup formation: cap table construction and equity distribution. If you're setting up a startup or restructuring your cap table, this conversation is a must-listen. We discuss the essentials of how to navigate structuring equity so that the cap table aligns with industry norms, aiming to attract investors while motivating founders and early employees. From understanding equity splits among co-founders to planning an option pool for future hires, we cover actionable insights that can help founders avoid common pitfalls. This is a tough topic for new entrepreneurs. Hopefully this episode can help folks build a balanced and adaptable ownership structure that supports growth and long-term success. https://lnkd.in/emWEer9B
