I've seen the "dividing the pie" calculator, but I'm more curious as to actual examples of equity splits between cofounders. Below's one link. Any more out htere?<p>http://www.startup-book.com/2008/10/30/equity-split-in-start-ups/<p>On a related note, has the initial equity split between Zuckerberg and his cofounders ever been revealed? I know that he had assembled a team of 5, just wondering what the other guys (all of whom I believe have since departed FB) ended up with.
a really good idea i've read on HN was that:<p>If you are 3 cofounders, take 10% each and divide the other 70% according to each participants activity over the next 3 or 5 years.<p>The distribution system has to be defined before, but in general this sounds like a great way to split up and staying away from a lot of troubles and possible conflict points between the founders.
