You and a partner go in "50/50" on a new business. You do all the work, they own half
the company. Now what? Equity provides a means to acquire the things you need to
build your business without cash, but early mistakes can cause major problems later
on. Learn a simple method for dividing equity in an early stage company that tells you
exactly the right number of shares for each participant including founders, employees,
partners, investors, advisers and anyone else who helps you along the way. All other
methods of dividing up equity create problems—.all of them. This is the perfect two-
hour long workshop for anyone who wants to start their own company. Includes a
seminar on perfect equity splits and an interactive game showing equity splits in action.
Yes! Equity splits can be fun!
Key Takeaways :
1. You will learn how to implement the world's only perfectly fair equity split
model to build your business.
2. You will understand how to calculate and utilize the exact buyout price when
someone leaves your company.
3. Attend this workshop to see why traditional equity split programs can never
be fair, and how this non-traditional one is.
What to Bring:
All attendees must bring an internet-enabled laptop, smartphone or tablet to partic-
ipate in the game, and go to SlicingPie.com/sxsw to access the "Dynamic Equity Split
Interactive Game" materials before the workshop begins.
