About this event

As part of the 3rd annual Google for Entrepreneurs Week, Startup Grind Lagos and Google for Entrepenuers are excited to host the 1st Google for Entrepreneurs Week Africa Series for founders. In addition to the goodies and refreshments, we'll be gathering founders to address the question "How to split equity fairly amongst cofounders". You and a partner go in "50/50" on a new startup. You do all the work, he owns half the company. Now what? Slicing Pie outlines a simple method for dividing equity in an early stage company that tells you exactly the right number of shared for each participant. All other methods of dividing up equity create problems - all of them. This is the perfect event for anyone in the process of starting a company or thinking of doing so. This a hands on event. You will leave with hands on practice on how to split equity amongst cofounders and other contributors.
