Publisher's summary

Entrepreneurs and early-stage company participants get taken advantage of so frequently that we hardly notice. Bad equity deals are the rule, not the exception. The Slicing Pie Handbook outlines a framework for perfectly fair equity splits for early-stage, bootstrapped startup companies. Based on the model popularized by the book Slicing Pie, Slicing Pie Handbook will help you determine the right share for people who contribute the things you need to start your company including help, equipment, supplies, rent, and even credit. You will learn how to fairly allocate equity when people contribute and how to fairly recover equity when people leave the company.

Topics covered include:

• The popular Slicing Pie equity model, including allocation and recovery
• A detailed "retrofit" guide in case you already have a dreaded "fixed" equity split
• Legal and tax considerations
• Tips for implementation including the use of the online Pie Slicer software

גאוני בפשטות שלו

בשורה התחתונה הוא עובר על סל של כלים כדי לאפשר לסטארטפיסטים לחשב את החלוקה על פי תרומה אישית ולא על פי ניחוש כללי של אחוזים שיגרום לצוות לריב בהמשך

Entrepreneurship That Just Tastes Great

As a cereal entrepreneur having started, closed and sold many businesses over the past 20+ years, I thought I had seen it all. When I was first introduced to the concepts Mike puts out on slicing pie, it was as if I had been attempting to navigate the wide world of start-ups and entrepreneuring with one arm tied behind my back.

Mike Moyer breaks down the concepts of "Fair and Square" in such simple terms that it's hard to think that people would ever go for the traditional 50/50 or equal thirds splits after reading this book. The ideas presented in this book are so profound it's taken the world by surprise. And it's no wonder this book as become such a bestseller. Once upon a time the world was believed to be flat. This book will change the way humans look at treating each other with respect when it comes to dividing up equity in a business.

This "Handbook" is the perfect condensed version to hand off to your would-be business partners before you settle in for the long journey together. It's got just enough to cover the basics, but it's under 4 hours which makes it something people can get through and complete in an afternoon.

Just do it

It’s the fairest model. So happy to have found it. Thanks Mike. Be sure to check out the agreement templates on the website, thankfully they are provided (for a fee).

love it!

Wish I had this book years ago! It would have saved me a lot of time and money!

Good book but was expecting more new stuff

I have the original book which is good. I was hoping now that the model has been out there for years, Mike would go more into how the model has worked in real life, give cases etc. This felt like ive heard it all before. I'll listen a second time but am a bit disappointed. The audiobook version is also missing the foreword by Noam Wasserman. For new readers this is good, but id say it doesnt offer much to people already familiar with the basic concepts of Slicing Pie
