Jane and Dick, our fearless cofounders of SayAhh, have set up an accounting system and created their first set of financial statements. The founders each have common shares that will vest over four years. As first time entrepreneurs they did not create an employee options pool; we’ll fix that in a little while.
Equity distribution among co-founders may be a complex procedure while starting any business. How you split founder startup equity can be even harder for a tech startup due to different roles and contributions from the founders. Founders often earn the greatest initial ownership, which is predictable.
Dividends paid and capitalgains realized on a per-share basis provide ordinary shareholders with a way to participate in the profits stream of the company. It is possible to participate in a company’s capitalgains (losses) without purchasing its common stock if the owner of a warrant holds it for a lengthy period of time.
This post is a translation of the article: « Pigeons » : le cri d'alarme d'un fonds américain published on LaTribune (12/10/2012) and is a response to the proposed tax law proposed by the government of Francois Hollande, suggesting to tax all capitalgain at the same level than salaries or 60%.

Non-solicits are the same, but prohibit former employees from recruiting others they may have worked with at a given company to join them at a new company.
And the tax changes for 2011 could cause a further end-of-year sell-off: Another factor often not discussed is that the capitalgains tax increases coming into effect in 2011 are might just lead to a stock market sell-off in Q410 as investors “lock in” gains at a lower tax rate. I saw this first hand in the first dot-com crash.
A few years ago, I was a member of a co-working space. There were about ten indie coworkers from the original community and ten employees of this startup. Speed Our Boathouse started out with four founders and went through several stages of growth. Over time, some members moved away, while others moved in. It was their office.
Even after Fowler’s article came to the forefront and investors Freada and Mitch Kapor broke ranks with their silent co-investors in their now-famous open letter , things didn’t get better. Not in the “founder friendly” culture of tech anyway. It’s male founder friendly. They got worse. Travis should hire her back??
