Good morning,
All too often, founders pass out equity to entice initial hires like it’s play money. And it makes sense: you don’t have a giant payroll and you want to encourage employees to work hard and increase the company’s value (and their share of equity).
Handing out equity options in a brand-new, pre-revenue startup is a little like buying everyone on your team a lottery ticket with the same numbers. But what if those numbers hit--and you realize you’ve optioned and diluted your company so much that your personal share is meaningless?
It’s a common dilemma, says Joe Procopio, Inc.com columnist and founder of Teachingstartup.com, a newsletter and web app for entrepreneurs. His advice: Don’t try and get the equity back, and if you do prepare for a fight. Better yet, learn how to value equity and options properly so you don’t make the mistake again. |
