Slicing Pie Seminar - Perfectly Fair Equity Splits for Bootstrapped Startups

Presented by: Harvest: Simple Online Time Tracking Software (www.getHarvest.com)

We are excited to announce that Slicing Pie author Mike Moyer will be joining us on August 15th at 5:30 to conduct a free seminar on his model of equity allocation. The event will take place at StarterStudio downtown.

Creating an unfair equity split with partners is not only one of the most devastating mistakes founders can make, but also one of the most common. Conventional "fixed" equity models are the core problem, yet they are still widely used. Dynamic equity models are becoming more popular because they allow founders too create a perfectly fair equity split while providing protection for all participants. This seminar will teach attendees a simple method for implementing a dynamic split and virtually eliminating equity disputes. Every company founder that plans to share equity needs to learn how to ensure fairness.

Key Lessons:

Why conventional fixed-split equity models set founders up for failure
How to implement a dynamic equity model that is perfectly fair to all participants
What to do when partners or employees quit or get fired
