Ask HN: How to do equity split when a founder can and puts in more money?

4 pointsby ovatsug25over 8 years ago
Hey guys!<p>I have more cash than others on my founding team. I&#x27;ve already been putting more of it in than the rest of the team. What&#x27;s the fair &#x2F; standard way of handling this situation so that the team continues to congeal? I&#x27;m pretty confident that we have a smash hit on our hands. Is there a fair way of doing this long term and short term? Thanks!

It&#x27;s best to put in the cash on the same terms as an outside investor would, and split the founder shares evenly. The SAFE investment documents [0] are standard and battle-tested.<p>[0] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.ycombinator.com&#x2F;documents&#x2F;#safe" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.ycombinator.com&#x2F;documents&#x2F;#safe</a>
