My first business partner, Dave Jilk, emailed me our original partnership agreement for Feld Technologies.

I’ve only worked in what could be considered a “big” company for 18 months (1993 – 1995) and that was the company (AmeriData) that bought my first company (Feld Technologies). At Feld Technologies, we had a very simple bonus program. Even better, consider using equity compensation as the bonus.
