The prompt

Help my cofounders and me prepare for an honest conversation about how to split equity. Cofounders: [names or roles, what each brings: idea, code, sales, money, full-time or part-time] Stage: [idea / prototype / revenue] Money put in so far: [by whom] Future plans: [raise funding, hire, timelines] Give me: 1. The factors that usually matter (time commitment, role, past and future contribution, risk taken, cash invested) and questions each of us should answer about them privately first. 2. Two or three common ways founders approach the split, with the trade-offs of each, explained neutrally. 3. Why vesting with a cliff is commonly used, in plain words, and what happens if someone leaves. 4. An agenda for the conversation, ground rules, and how to handle disagreement. 5. What to put in writing afterwards, to take to a lawyer. Don't give a final percentage or legal advice; help us reach our own decision fairly.
