So, you've built a company! But how much of it do you OWN? Equity represents one’s percentage of ownership interest in a given company. For startup investors, this means the percentage of the company’s shares that a startup is willing to sell to investors for a specific amount of money. Understanding your company's equity story is an important part of early-stage hiring, and fundraising. At Carta, we understand many first-time founders are new to capital table and equity management. Join IFundWomen and Carta for this in-depth workshop on Equity, meant to simplify even the most complex concepts. In this workshop we will explain the basic functions of equity, give actionable tips for creating and understanding your company's capital table, and teach you how to avoid common mistakes.
