Partnership

Cofounder equity is not only math

The cap table conversation usually exposes trust before it exposes numbers.

For cofounder, equity, vesting, and decision-rights tension.

Cofounder equity looks like a percentage question. Underneath, it is often about commitment, risk, decision rights, and what happens when one person changes pace.

ChangeClear does not provide legal or equity advice. It can help frame the pattern: where trust is already strained, where contribution is unclear, and which future conflict is being avoided.

The useful question is not what number is correct. It is whether the partnership can hold the changes that number will create.
