Tech Companies work culture destroying employees lives – Moskovitz, Facebook Co-founder

Last week, I spoke to an ambitious group of high school students at SPARC in Berkeley. Several of them asked me about things I wish I had done or learned earlier in life, or regrets I had from earlier in my career.

Buffer App – A Startup that developed formulas for sharing Equity and Salary

It is quite common for the founders to split equity in their company early on in the process and an even-split is the common scenario seen in most of them. Every startup in the world faces "ups and downs" due to equity sharing issues. One thing which creates a big difference between good Startups and ordinary Startups in this matter is transparency. Good startups will always have better sharing equity structure and individual breakdown process. Many startups have failed just because of this sole reason due to lack of knowledge and experience about these structures.
