You've got a killer startup idea, but building it needs a team. Your co-founder brings the marketing, while you do coding. But how do you ensure they're in for the long term? Here comes the Co-founder Vesting Schedule... What is a co-founder vesting schedule? Think of your company's ownership like slices of a pizza. A vesting schedule is like a gradual "earning" of those slices over time. Your co-founder doesn't get the whole pie(entire his shares) upfront. Instead, they earn ownership piece by piece (like slices of pizza!) over a set period. This keeps them invested and working towards the big success. Things to consider: • Vesting period: How long it takes to earn all slices (3-4 years is common). • Cliff period: A waiting period before they earn any slices (e.g., 1 year) to ensure commitment. • Part-time work: Ownership reflects their contribution (fewer slices for part-timers).
