How should stock be allocated among the two or three initial founders? How much of your company should you "give away"—and for what sum?


How can founders and early investors determine benchmarks for an appropriate return on invested capital? As a job seeker, when should you trade salary for equity?


What questions should you ask about your stock options as you negotiate your offer?


Stock option grants represent a way of sharing in a company’s success, but very few first-time entrepreneurs and early startup employees understand what stock options really are and how they work. This workshop will explore equity from all an angles.


Kathy Nolan, Corporate Attorney at Shoobx, has coached founders at hundreds of early-stage startups on issues ranging from founder and employee shares, to stock incentive plans, company valuations, and more. Join us for a workshop to help founders, startup employees, and new investors understand the ins and outs of equity.


This event is part of the Founding Startups track at Startup Boston 2018.
