Description

In equity sharing both parties benefit from the relationship. Equity sharing, also known as housing equity partnership (HEP), gives a person the opportunity to purchase a home even if he cannot afford a mortgage on the whole of the current value. Often the remaining share is held by the house builder, property owner or a housing association. Both parties receive tax benefits. Another advantage is the return on investment for the investor, while for the occupier a home becomes readily available even when funds are insufficient.

FAQ

Of ~22% in founders' equity. This pattern matches with the rule of thumb that dictates founders to park no less than 20-30% collectively for themselves at exit (in an ideal world).

Example: A founding engineer may earn anywhere from 50-80% of the salary of their big-tech counterparts but can receive up to 2% or more ownership of the startup. This equity compensation comes with significant risks due to the high possibility of startup failure.

As a company proves itself through growth and funding rounds, the risk lowers over time and equity typically decreases proportionally, too. Employees so early on they become co-founders can get anywhere from 49.9% to 5%, much higher than other early employees.

Many believe that an equal split signifies fairness for all and the majority of founders begin with 50/50 equity splits.

Different ways to split equity among cofounders Equal splits. Weighted contributions. Dynamic or adjustable equity. Performance-based vesting. Role-based splits. Hybrid models. Points-based system. Prenegotiated buy/sell agreements.

Equity allocation to co-founding team members should reflect a reward for the value they're expected to contribute. If the expected contributions are fairly equal, then the initial equity should be allocated relatively equally (for example, 51% and 49%).

Calculating Startup Equity Compensation On average, startups are reserving a 13% to 20% equity pool for employees. This is important for startups to consider before they pursue series funding or other investments, in which they may be offering percentages of equity to investors.

How will you split equity with your co-founders? The general thinking is that, before Series A, founders should retain a total of 50 to 70% ownership. You can decide how much equity you'd like to keep and move forward from there, allocating out the remainder as it makes sense.
