NOTE

Equity Split and Risk in Startups

Founders should carefully consider the equity split in a startup, ensuring a fair ratio for those who took different levels of risk over time. It is essential to value the early investors who take significant risks, as their contributions are crucial, even after they leave, while also considering those who take less risk but stay invested for a longer period. Maintaining a balanced ratio is crucial to avoid potential problems in the future. Founders should be thoughtful when trading small amounts of money for significant equity, as the value of this equity can significantly increase if the startup succeeds.
