[Webinar] How Founders Give Away Their Company Without Noticing
In this session, Charlie O’Donnell of nextNYC sits down with Chris Hoffmann of Qapita for a 30-minute conversation discussing how founders give away equity without realizing it, from merely annoying to seriously expensive.
Most founders don’t look closely at their cap table until a fundraise or an acquisition forces them to. By then, the ownership is already gone. Usually it wasn’t one big bad decision. It was a bunch of small ones nobody flagged at the time.
They'll discuss:
Equity that walks out the door when people leave
Letting investors reset your vesting
The SAFE stack
The oversized option pool
Raising too much at too high a price
The missed 83(b)
Speakers:
Chris Hoffmann, Solutions Architect at Qapita
Moderated by Charlie O'Donnell of nextNYC
