In this video, we are going to share with you a mistake that can cost you millions of dollars if you're not careful. And the best part is, it's something that's easy to avoid if you know what to look for. There’s that scene in ‘The Social Network’ that I am pretty sure has changed how founders think of their stock n the company. And it’s not the only one, Hollywood is obsessed with ‘51% of shares’, and ‘controlling the company’. But that’s just not how company shares, ownership, and equity distribution works. What sucks is that this is as confusing as it is important: if your company makes it, gets acquired, or even IPOs, those shares can mean millions, if not billions of dollars. And we all have to solve and wrap our heads around this when we know nothing when the numbers don’t yet make sense, and when we are focused on building, launching, talking to users, and not running out of money. In this video, I want to break down how startup equity works, explain it in plain English, and I also want to run you through a few scenarios. #startups #slidebean #startingabusiness #stocks -- Follow Caya: https://twitter.com/cayahere https://instagram.com/caya_here
