You’re starting a new company. Congratulations! Before preparing for your product launch or talking to customers, however, you need to agree upon the allocation and terms for the equity, or ownership, of the company among you and your co-founders.
This is one of the toughest decisions you’ll have as a founder, but it’s also one of the most important to get right from the get-go. So, how should you get started?
Join Gunderson Dettmer lawyer, Jared Grauer, for a dial-in session on the life cycle of a founder's equity. They will be sharing their experience on the legal side as well as what they have seen from the client side.
Specific questions from the Founders Network forum were sourced to create the Agenda below. If you have additional questions, post them in the comments below.
- What to expect at each stage of funding
- What do you preserve in the beginning
- Expectations for employee, founder & investor equity
- Expectations for late founding team member equity
Founded more than fifteen years ago, Gunderson Dettmer has become the nation’s leading business law firm for entrepreneurs, emerging growth companies and venture capitalists.
