Synopsis

Bad equity deals are the rule, not the exception.

Founders often divide ownership too early—before they know who will contribute what, who will stay, or whether the company will succeed. A fixed equity split based on promises and predictions can quickly become unfair.

The Slicing Pie Handbook provides a practical alternative: a dynamic equity model that adjusts over time based on what each participant actually puts at risk.

Inside, you’ll learn how to:

• Calculate a fair ownership share for every founder and contributor
• Value unpaid time, cash, equipment, supplies, relationships, ideas, and other contributions
• Adjust ownership as individual contributions change
• Handle equity fairly when someone leaves the company
• Repair or replace an existing equity agreement that no longer reflects reality
• Explain the model to cofounders, employees, investors, lawyers, and accountants

The Slicing Pie model gives startup teams a clear framework for allocating equity without relying on arbitrary percentages, premature negotiations, or constant renegotiation. It is designed for bootstrapped and early-stage companies whose participants contribute before they receive full market-rate compensation.

The book includes detailed instructions for both allocating equity while the company grows and recovering equity when a participant separates from the team.

Written by entrepreneur, investor, and entrepreneurship educator Mike Moyer, The Slicing Pie Handbook builds on a model used by startup teams around the world. The foreword is by Noam Wasserman, author of The Founder’s Dilemmas.

If you are starting a company, joining an early-stage team, or struggling with an equity split that no longer feels fair, this book will show you a more logical way forward.
