Slicing Pie

What is Slicing Pie? Slicing Pie is a universal formula for creating a perfectly fair equity split in an early-stage, bootstrapped startup. Traditional, old-fashioned equity splits are based on guesses about the future, negotiation skills, and rules of thumb. The Slicing Pie model is different because it's based on what participants actually contribute over time.

Sometimes people ask me if Slicing Pie is “legal.” The short answer is: yes, absolutely, Slicing Pie is completely legal and is never illegal. The long answer is slightly more nuanced because Slicing Pie isn’t a legal framework, it’s a moral framework – it’s a way of doing right by those who help you build a valuable business And, just like any other equity model that has ever existed, it is subject to the unique laws of individual countries. #startup #business #startupbusiness #dynamicequitysplit #founderequitycalculator #equitycalculator #equitysplitcalculator #startupcompany #startupequity #startupequitycalculator

Occasionally someone will think they found a cash vs. non-cash loophole in the Slicing Pie model. What if, they ponder, instead of not getting paid and adding two slices per dollar I invest cash in the business at four slices per dollar and then draw out a salary in the same amount?

Berlin: thanks to the efforts of Stefanie Strümpfler, partner of dextrae Rechtsanwälte · Fachanwälte, who customised for German founders the Cofounder Agreement template – German founders can now use the dynamic equity split based on Mike Moyer’s Slicing Pie method for their projects until incorporation. This is great news for German early-stage founders, as it gives them the opportunity to use the ‘fairest equity split tool’ and avoid many potential issues that are caused by fixed equity split in too early stages.

Incubators and accelerators often request a fixed chunk of equity from the companies who participate in their programs. The organization then provides services such as office space, supplies, access to the Internet, equipment (like printers, copiers and fax machines), mentors and educational programs. I’ve seen these percentages range from 5% to as much as 20%.

A common question that I receive from founders is “Can I make the S-Corporation election for my startup if I am using the Slicing Pie model?” The purpose of Slicing Pie and any form of dynamic equity is to fairly and proportionately distribute equity amongst cofounders of a new venture. The Slicing Pie model provides founders with an equity allocation framework and a recovery framework for when parties decide to leave the startup for any number of reasons. Slicing Pie works well for limited liability companies, partnerships, and C Corporations. However, it is not appropriate for ventures that are taxed as S Corporations.

Many potential clients and current clients have been asking us whether they should pursue their dreams and start their new business despite challenging economic conditions or put their plans on hold. While we understand that it is exceedingly difficult to raise capital and the cost of capital is increasing, we advise everyone to follow their dreams. In fact, in our opinion, challenging economic conditions are the perfect time to start a new business (I have done it) if you are using the right equity allocation model.
