Founder brief
Who should attend
Early-stage entrepreneurs working through cap table division or planning their initial hires will find relevant guidance here. The session serves anyone needing to navigate co-founder arrangements, advisor shares, and early employee compensation before making costly legal mistakes.
What happens
Midday discussions centre on sweat equity and practical allocation methods for early contributors. Hosted in partnership with sponsor Russell Cooke, the session provides practical insights into dividing equity fairly without standard pitch competitions or structured founder showcases.
Who's in the room
Hosts Miriam Deas, Andrew Browning, and Sally Johnston lead the room alongside startup builders and partners from law firm Russell Cooke. Attendees primarily include early startup leaders navigating foundational ownership decisions alongside peer operators.
How to prepare
Review your current cap table, planned advisory roles, and hiring roadmap ahead of time. Note down specific dilemmas around vesting schedules or equity splits so you can ask targeted questions during discussions without disclosing sensitive proprietary terms.
