The toughest tests in your startup’s life don’t happen in toughest times, but after. In order to avoid the Zuckerberg-Saverin fiasco of who was behind the billion dollar idea, divide the shares in your startup fairly from day one.
A great tool for that is Slicing Pie – it is a simple formula based on the principle that a person’s % share of the equity should always be equal to that person’s share of the at-risk contributions.
In this workshop, led by entrepreneur and author Jana Nevrlka, you will learn about different equity split options that you as a founder can consider, common pitfalls and best practices, and how to implement the Slicing Pie model.

After working with 1000+ cofounding teams using the Cofounding Framework, I know how to help you setup your business partnership right from the start!
It all started when I simply realised that there must be a better way to do business partnerships.
Since I had not found much knowledge or support available, I decided to fill the gap myself.
With one successful and one failed cofounding experience behind me, I have spent past 5 years learning what’s required to build better business partnerships. Now I use this knowledge to help cofounders across the world to build successful and lasting businesses.
Combining my legal and business background with the entrepreneurial experience, I write and speak extensively on the subject. I work as a cofounding expert for a number of startup accelerators, universities and VC's.
In addition, I coordinate the development of dynamic equity split templates in Europe, in direct cooperation with Mike Moyer, author of the Slicing Pie.
