Short YouTube conversation (two speakers) discussing the practice of granting small equity stakes to close partners/supporters as a gesture of appreciation and to share upside if the company succeeds. Speakers recommend giving a few percentage points (e.g., three–five points) when founding new companies so helpers benefit if the business scales.
You know I owe the world to him.
Yeah.
So anytime I start new, anytime I start a new company or anything I just throw him a couple points on the cap table just, just because he is who he is and you know.
I've never do things too you can simply give some of these people who are helping you out a little bit of equity on the side of course.
And it's no skin off your back especially like you know when you're the, the maker of, of the destiny of the, of the company like throw them three, four or five points you have majority of the cap table.
Yeah.
So that's another way that's just a little thank you card and if any of these things blow up into 8, 9, 10 figure companies like it's a massive win for them too and it's just like hey thanks I appreciate you always being there.
Yeah it's a good point.
