- How to make a fair business agreement when two guys start a company: one guys sits at home and codes for 2 months, the other pays him $50/hour to do it?
- I'm thinking
- 1) both guys start out owning 50% of the venture
- 2) first guy puts in an hour of work, second guy puts in $50
- 3) but the first guy also gets $50 from the venture for that hour
- 4) this has to be repaid somehow back to the venture, at its next liquidity event
- How much to repay? I see two options:
- a) convertible note - if you got paid a total of $10k, you should repay $20k
- b) buying back the shares - Assume that a liquidity event happens in 2 months,
- with an implied valuation of val[2months].
- Get an initial valuation of the venture based on opportunity cost of both people,
- and make a series:
- shares = SUM {n=1 to 100} ( val[t[n+1]] / ($paid[t[n+1]] - $paid[t[n/nic]]) )
- this is the percentage of total shares the borrower "sold" to the venture.
- The borrower will have the option of buying them back at val[2 months] * shares.
- How to repay it?
- The money will come from the investor. Both founders should receive enough money
- to cover the repayment of what they borrowed from the venture. From then on,
- they can be paid a salary.
