Startups: How to Fairly Slice the Equity Pie


Listen Later

Mike Moyer, serial entrepreneur and author of Slicing Pie Handbook: Perfectly Fair Equity Splits for Bootstrapped Startups, joins Talking Business Now host Kelly Scanlon to discuss fair equity models for startups and early-stage companies.

Tune in to find out:

  • The basics of the Slicing Pie model.
  • Whether the person who has the most risk in the startup always has the controlling interest.
  • The pitfalls of equity being used as compensation.
  • What pre-revenue equity allocation is.
  • Why allocating equity must be based on a set of rules.
  • Why allocating equity is a "rolling" endeavor, not a static one.

  • Moyer is a serial entrepreneur who has started several companies from scratch, including Cappex.com. He's joined start-up companies, helped others start companies, raised millions of dollars of start-up capital and helped sell start-up companies.

    Mike shares his entrepreneurial experience by teaching Entrepreneurship at Northwestern University and the University of Chicago Booth School of Business
