Founder Equity Split Decision Engine
Build a SaaS tool that helps founders determine fair equity splits when one party contributes capital and another contributes expertise, relationships, or execution. The product would model ownership, vesting, dilution, liquidation preference, and contribution weightings to produce defensible scenarios founders can review before involving counsel.
これが重要な理由
You are about to start a company and the most important early decision is already contentious: how much of the business should go to the person who is critical to execution but not writing the check. Advice from peers ranges from token equity to near-equal ownership, and every answer seems to depend on vague ideas like loyalty, risk, and hustle. You do not want to insult a key partner, but you also cannot ignore the capital you are putting at risk. Spreadsheets and blog posts do not help because they fail to connect economics, governance, and founder expectations in one place. You need a tool that turns a messy emotional negotiation into a structured, explainable decision.

エビデンスの概要
AIがこのインサイトをどのように統合したか — 逐語的な引用はありません
The discussion showed sustained confusion over whether the person in question should be treated as an employee or a co-founder, with many commenters arguing the role classification changes everything. Roughly a dozen comments focused on fair ownership ranges, and the suggested numbers varied dramatically. Several participants also tried to separate founder effort from invested capital, indicating strong demand for structured scenario modeling rather than generic rules of thumb.
