The fastest way to kill your startup?
Split equity 50/50 because “you’re friends.”

Because equity should be split as compensation for risk, time, and future value creation. Friendship has nothing to do with it.

So if you're stuck on how to split equity, here's the cleanest framework I share with founders:

▶ Step 1: List what each founder is actually contributing

One person may have the idea, prototype, full-time commitment.
The other may join 3 months later, still working another job.
If the split doesn’t reflect that, resentment compounds fast.

So, start with listing the contributions.

▶ Step 2: Assign weight to each factor (out of 100%)

And base it on how each factor will impact revenue 3–5 years from now.

For example:

- Time commitment = 25%
- Domain experience = 10%
- Ex*****on = 30%
- Fundraising = 20%
- Sweat equity = 15%

Keep it honest. This isn’t about feelings - it’s about future value.

▶ Step 3: Adjust for risk taken

Not just who “quit their job.” But who’s going all-in with time, energy, or personal capital - from Day 1.

Higher commitment = higher equity. Simple.

▶ Step 4: Add a 4-year vesting schedule

A vesting schedule means equity is earned over time - typically with a 1-year cliff to protect the company from early exits.

So if someone leaves in month 6, they shouldn't walk away with 40% of your company.

I’ve seen founders delay this conversation till the first term sheet.
By then, it’s already too late.

Remember, a clean split isn’t just about fairness - it’s about team survival.

What’s one equity mistake you’ve seen that others should avoid?

We’re excited to Update *Trending Learning Angels you to this week’s se— our hands-on founder learning series where real builders share what actually works (and what doesn’t*).

This Week’s Session
Topic: North Star Thinking: Engineering Focus, Culture & Clarity from Day One
Stratist: Deepak Rajmohan, Founder – GreenPod Labs


About Deepak Rajmohan
Deepak Rajmohan is the founder of GreenPod Labs, a deep-science startup tackling one of India’s most critical challenges — post-harvest food loss. Using biotechnology, GreenPod Labs creates sachet-based solutions that activate natural defense mechanisms in fruits and vegetables, helping them stay fresh longer — without refrigeration.

Impact Highlights:

Raised ₹20+ Cr from investors like Omnivore, Marwari Angels, and Beyond Next Ventures (Japan)
Featured in Forbes Asia’s 100 to Watch, The Better India, and The Hindu
Created measurable impact by reducing spoilage and increasing farmers’ income
Successfully scaled their product across multiple Indian states
But this session isn’t about GreenPod’s success — it’s about how Deepak built it, with relentless focus, scientific discipline, and values-first thinking.

What You’ll Learn

This isn’t a keynote. It’s a conversation.

In this candid, interactive session, Deepak will share:

How he translated deep scientific research into a usable, scalable product
How he built clarity, culture, and discipline — even before traction
What he got wrong, what he’d repeat, and what he learned the hard way
How he built a mission-driven team and lab setup around a shared language and long-term goals
No buzzwords. No fluff. Just real stories, founder to founder.

Session Format
Icebreaker & Origin Story – 10 mins
Deep Dive: Lessons, Mistakes & Mindset – 30 mins
AMA & Open Floor – 30–40 mins
Come with questions. Leave with mental models, mindset shifts, and frameworks that stick.
