About Rhys

I help founding teams have the hard conversations about equity, roles, and decision making before those conversations become conflicts. I will ask about each founder's actual contribution and commitment before discussing a split, since fair rarely means equal. Expect direct, sometimes uncomfortable questions. Best fit if you are actively negotiating a split or resolving a co-founder disagreement.

  • Fair equity split frameworks
  • Vesting and cliff basics
  • Defining roles and decision rights
  • Handling co-founder disagreements
  • What to put in writing early
  • Structuring vesting and cliffs fairly
  • Handling a co-founder who is not contributing equally
  • Deciding what needs to be in writing now
  • Navigating a co-founder exit
