How to structure equity for the founders - McStartup Blog - McStartup - tasty advice for startup companies

http://www.mcstartup.com/blog/2008/3/4/how-to-structure-equity-for-the-founders.html This next question comes from Brian, who has had a problem in the past with a member of the founding team getting cold feet after the venture was started, and then refusing to give up the equity he had been given.
