Picture this:
You and a partner start a business. You both decided to split everything “50/50″. Your partner sits on his butt while you do all the work. You need to hire someone to help because your partner is worthless, but he owns 50% of your business- now what?This month, Google for Entrepreneurs and Startup Grind Nairobi bring you Mike Moyer, Managing Director, Lake Shark Ventures LLC and author of the book Slicing Pie. Slicing Pie outlines a simple method for dividing equity in an early stage company that tells you exactly the right number of shares for each participant. All other methods of dividing up equity create problems - all of them.
This is the perfect event for entrepreneurs, going-to-be entrepreneurs and any other start-up enthusiasts out there. Expect great networking, hands on labs on how to actually slice the pie and your very own copy of Slicing Pie!
