Equity Distribution and Founder Agreement
Do you know how ownership of a company is divided among multiple founders or business owners in the early stage? What are the key factors that you should consider when preparing or signing a founder agreement. What are the different types of equity and agreements out there? In the workshop, participants can expect to walk away with:
Knowledge with respect to initial issuances of equity interests to business founders (including considerations for allocating equity among multiple founders);
Information for business owners considering issuing equity to new investors or employees after formation (“follow-on” issuances); and
Best practices and common terms for founders’ agreements and stockholders’ agreements for small businesses.
