Ownership Split
How should cash and time be weighted?
Cash is after-tax, already-earned money with real opportunity cost. Because it carries more financial risk, it typically translates to more shares than sweat equity.
How shares are calculated:
• Cash × multiplier = shares
• Hours × hourly rate = shares
Example:
• $10,000 cash invested × 2 = 20,000 shares
• 100 hrs contributed × $100/hr = 10,000 shares
Adjust cash, hours, and rates below to see how contributions affect ownership.
