Hi Rodinhooders!!
Glad to be a part of this wonderful & enterprising community. Working with 2 start up companies in 4.5 years of my career, I am now moving ahead to start a venture of my own, GreynGreen.
GreynGreen is basically is a website that helps any individual user to plan & budget their finances for daily activities/ special occasions. A personal tool that keeps a record of a user’s planning and budgeting tasks, accessible at any time.
I am looking for suggestions to help me define the timelines/ milestones I need to achieve to move ahead.
Also, if someone could throw light on how to decide how much equity (shares) to give a new partner?
I look forward to all your suggestions/ criticisms/ ideas & thoughts about GreynGreen that would definitely help me make this venture a huge success..

about your EQUITY q – there are quite a few ASKs about equity to a new partner. will try to pull for you.
when you have a breather – pls search ‘equity’ and check the posts in ASK

Hi Sunaina,
Check out Money Manager in icici bank’s website. May be you can get some cue from there for adding few more features.

Sunaina, this is part answer to your question (on equity – that I had answered on Quora also)
Startups: How do I split equity between my new co-founder and I on a side-pro…
Let me dive directly into the sweet problem:
– Lets assume that you have invested 400 hours into the project
– Lets assume that your market value is US$ 25 per hour
– Lets also assume that you have invested 5000 US$ cash into the project
Therefore the ‘capital’ invested into the venture by you is = (400*25) + 5000 = US$ 15,000
– Now lets assume that your friend puts in 500 hours in the next few months
– His value in the market is US$ 30 per hour
After he has put in his hours, the ‘capital’ invested by him will be US$ 15,000
Total Capital of the Company now will = US$ 30,000
Both of you will therefore own 50% each.
– Lets assume that you also continue to contribute while he is involved
– Lets assume that you add another 200 hours
Your capital invested in round 2 will be = US$ 5000
Total Capital created will be 15K + 15K + 5K = 35K
Your share will be 20/35 = 57.15%
Your friends share will be 15/35 = 42.85
This formula can be used to add capital to the pool and reward the contributors (be it via cash, effort, employees (the amount they DO NOT take home in cash) etc.
Tell me if this helps!!
