You will find a lot of different views on equity split. I haven't found a silver bullet. My preference/experience is for: 1. Unequal shares because one person needs to be the ultimate decision maker (even if it's 1% difference). I have found that I have never had to use that card because we are ...
Not necessarily. As long as you have the stocks to be issued. Have a prior contract agreement between owners of what equity is available, the vesting period. (Some do it on % base points per year, i.e. 50% in year 1 and 50% in year 2, or 1k hours worked) if they walk away in first year they take...

Looking quickly at your website, I would bounce quickly. Here's why: The jobs posted look like things I'd find on Fiver or other low-quality, "micro-task" service marketplaces. In other words, your landing page doesn't deliver on the brand promise inherent in your name. I'd take a totally dif...

Back when I started LinkedIn wasn't as huge as it is now. I wish it was. I didn't have a large network and those networking sessions NEVER brought me any clients. I used to go to all sorts of them hoping to get clients. There were a couple of nibbles here and there, but never anything serious. Th...
