Ask HN: Newbie Guide to Founder Equity
3 points by sejje on Aug 4, 2014 | hide | past | favorite | 2 comments
I remember a PDF being posted a year or two ago that was essentially a newbie guide to equity, vesting, etc, in startups. Basically how much equity founders should get, how "one year cliffs" work, etc.

I believe it was put out by a startup or a fairly prominent founder. Not a big financial firm or similar.

I've searched and failed to find it. Anyone know where it's at?




I don't think this is necessarily the PDF you were looking for, but the Paul Buchheit guide to Founder's Equity is a pretty great place to start: http://paulbuchheit.blogspot.co.uk/2007/03/equity-math-for-s...


Thanks so much!
