[VIDEO] Best Practices for Splitting Equity Ownership in Startups

 

I was recently interviewed by the Atlanta Small Business Network (ASBN), an online "television network" serving the small business community, about how best to split up equity between startup founders.  I thought this video turned out great, and I wanted to share it with all of you, to see if it can be helpful to you in creating your own fair equity ownership structure.  As you will learn, there is no one right answer here, but you need to know what the variables are, and plan accordingly.  I hope you like it!!

Thanks again to Jim Fitzpatrick and the ASBN team for having me on the show.  I look forward to our next interview together.
