We agree on an equity split, vesting, and initial compensation structure. We agree that upon raising capital, each team member will earn $X, perhaps with an automatic bump to $Y upon achieving agreed-upon milestones. Once we’ve executed all the steps above, we go to VCs and raise seed capital of $1-2m. Sounds great!

Instead of spending 4 years at university, I spend 4 years starting 2 internet companies that failed. What is the first step in creating an internet-based business (After planning) ? Where do you think the internet is taking us for the future? We are raising seed capital, but would like to have a US tech investor.
