start with 70/30 then offer 65/35 and go no lower than 60/40 if you REALLY need this person, then you NEED them as they NEED you.
starting off the other way, you might as well start the company and then hire them as an employee, then you own 100% of shares. since the shares are really willy nilly to begin with, its really a percentage of ownership. you might as well start with some good karma, and go 50/50 if you two TRULY need each other. thats what needs to be determined in my eyes. tw On 10/15/05, Vivec <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello, > > Let's take this hypothetical situation. > I'm starting a new company with one other person, a web development company. > I'm a web developer and the other person is a General Manager. > > We're going to hire about 2 programmers, and 2 designers to start > with, have offices, cars, salaries etc. the works, a full and proper > company. > > We've reached the point of apportioning shares to each partner. > > Is it fair, because it is a web development company and I'm the web > developer, to give myself 80% of the shares?
