I'm working on a tech product. I have incorporated a delaware corporation 2 weeks back. I wanted to file trademarks and patents under my company name. So I incorporated little bit early. I'm planning to bring more people like CTO, CFO, Advisors, Investors etc on board after 6 months. What would be the fair percentage of shares I should issue myself?
I think that's a hard question to answer in the abstract without knowing the extent of your IP, the relative market potential for the product, your desire or need for institutional investment, and the relative contributions of your future potential partners. Have you considered a dynamic equity split arrangements for the partners you wish to attract? I recommend taking a look at SlicingPie.com as one well thought-out dynamic equity split alternative.
