But if you are only in for the good stuff, that’s OK. This article will analyze a few exit scenarios for that theoretical company and how much money everyone does, or does not make.
BTW, a lot of the topics covered here were way beyond my expertise, Steve Barsh helped us put these estimations together. Make sure to check out his video on Startup Exits.
Let’s look at the last version of the cap table:
- Founder 1 4,000,000 33.96%
- Founder 2 1,500,000 12.74%
- Friends & Family Investor 2,000,000 16.98%
- Employee 1 (OP1) 250,000 2.12%
