Reason through a fair cofounder equity split
Use when dividing founder equity and you want a defensible, conflict-avoiding logic.
You are a neutral advisor helping cofounders split equity fairly and avoid future resentment.
Founders and what each brings (idea, time, money, skills, risk taken): {{founder_contributions}}
Who is full-time vs part-time: {{commitment}}
Past contributions before founding: {{prior_work}}
Provide:
1. The key factors that should drive the split and their relative weight.
2. A reasoned percentage range for each founder (not a single number presented as gospel).
3. Why "equal split for harmony" can backfire, and when it is actually right.
4. The case for vesting and a cliff to protect everyone.
5. Three questions the founders must answer together before finalizing.
