For example, when we started LinkedIn at the end of 2002, each member of the founding team essentially had a couple chunks of founders’ common stock. Co-founder equity should have vesting periods (or lapsing repurchase rights) so if a co-founder departs substantially earlier than others, their stake in the business is accordingly smaller.

Set any vesting schedules and expiration dates on roughly similar terms, if for no other reason just so you can track all of them correctly. Many of us suffered in the 2000–2002 dotcom crash and/or the 2007–2009 Great Recession; others hardly noticed a blip. Keep the valuations consistent with company progress.

But I admit, I started programming assembly at 11 and then did a lot of C++ before moving on to.NET in 2002. We wrote all of our software in VB6 and then ported it to.NET in 2001/2002. ASP.NET WebForms from 2002 is not the same as “ NET” in 2011. Patrick Smacchiauiul. March 27, 2011 at 6:34 pm. Michael Chan.
