Re:More on splitting equity 50/50 or not on Wednesday May 11, 2011 @09:43AM (#2536379)
I'm saying that the article is correct, and also that I personally only want to do companies that fall into what he calls the fairness category.

The article does not say that 50/50 makes sense if and only if you bring equal things to the table. That's an unequal split argument in disguise.

Out of curiosity, do you want a larger stake because you want more money, more control, both, or for some other reason?

Re:More on splitting equity 50/50 or not on Wednesday May 11, 2011 @09:13AM (#2536274)
I wouldn't start a company with someone where the relationship wasn't based on fairness. If I don't trust my potential co-founders enough to share the company equally, they shouldn't be my co-founders.

EDIT: s/your/my/, s/you/I/ ... my personal position may not be best for you.

Why do you value your abilities so little?

The company should pay you what you're worth to them, not the minimum you need to survive comfortably.

I swear I thought the headline said "cat sharing" when it came up in my feed reader.
