Fixed vs. Dynamic Equity: Which Model Is Right for Your Startup’s Success?

Starting a company is like jumping out of a plane and building your parachute on the way down. The thrill? Unmatched. The risk? Sky-high.

And among the dozen things that can make or break your landing—equity decisions sit right at the center. You’ve got talent, co-founders, sweat equity, and probably a blurry understanding of how ownership should be sliced.

Quotes by Mike Moyer (?)

“The world seems to be designed in a way that success is never as easy as we hope. Getting there takes not only the right vision, but also the right level of perseverance that some people just don’t have.”
― Mike Moyer, Slicing Pie: Fund Your Company Without Funds

“Being an entrepreneur requires a great amount of trust and confidence. It requires bold moves and big ideas that change the way people think about life. When entrepreneurs become less confident and less trusting effectiveness diminishes. When they get burned by their partners they do learn, but they learn bad lessons. They learn to spend more time covering their own butts. They learn to spend more time and money writing contracts and agreements.”

“When employees give up and stay, the environment becomes plagued with resentment and low morale.”
