Founders at 50:50 or 70:30?

 Founders at 50:50 or 70:30? Let's Split the Pie, Not the Partnership!” 🍰💼😅

💬 Client Question:
"We’re three founders in a startup, but one is investing more money, another more time, and the third has strong tech skills. Can we divide shares unequally from Day 1?"

📢 Short Answer:
YES! Your startup can have founders with different shareholding ratios, as long as it’s clearly documented and mutually agreed upon. Equity ≠ Equality always! 🎯🧾

📘 How to Legally Set It Up Right:

1️⃣ Founders' Agreement 🤝

• Must include roles, equity split, vesting terms, exit clauses
  2️⃣ Cap Table (Capitalisation Table) 📊

• Clear snapshot of shareholding for co-founders + investors
  3️⃣ Vesting Schedules ⏳

• Protects against someone walking away with big equity early
  4️⃣ Pre-incorporation vs Post-incorporation Split 🧩

• Best to finalise before company is formed

✔️ Keeps peace among founders
✔️ Helps future investors trust your structure
✔️ Minimises disputes and misunderstandings
