What is founder equity split?
The founder equity split is how ownership is divided among cofounders at the start. It should reflect each founder's future contribution — commitment, role and expertise — not only who had the idea.
Equal splits are a reasonable default for founders starting together with the same commitment; any split should sit on top of vesting.
