Act as a startup advisor specializing in corporate governance. Two founders are starting [Insert company name], a [Insert type of startup]. Founder A is contributing [Insert Founder A contribution] and Founder B is contributing [Insert Founder B contribution]. Help us design a fair, objective framework for our equity split.

How to Use

Example Output
We propose a standard four year vesting schedule with a one year cliff to protect both parties. Founder A should receive sixty percent of the equity based on full time commitment and technical execution. Founder B should receive forty percent based on part time commitment and initial capital infusion. Key questions include what happens if a founder leaves early and who makes the final tie-breaking decisions.
