In my first post about how to split the pie when you start a business, we where 3 founders. After, what we can call a "trust crisis", one of us left the boat. Now we are trying to fix the business plan and continue. It's easier (but not easy) to split the pie.

Here is the preview of a new spreadsheet:

Criterias:

  • Idea: How the idea of your business grow up, who have been enlightened and who give the direction to the road you're going to build ?
  • Business plan: Who set the checkpoints on the road ? How are you going to build your product, to sell your product
  • Domain expertise: Who is going to build and sell the product and who is capable to do so.
  • Commitment & risk: You're working full time in your new company ? Sure, you're more commited than the one who give some time when he has to do. Note: in the example above, I set 1 for 1 day per week and 5 for full time.
  • Responsabilities: CEO have more reponsabilities than employee
  • Cash: cash you put in the company if you do

Notes:

  • Weights may not fit with your project. Before putting numbers in founders' cells, you will have to agree with other founders on weights.
