Re: On Co-Founder Time Commitments, and Asymmetric Risk Resentment (ARR)

"The first objective is best measured by mutual agreement and understanding of personal milestones and how they are tied to various forms of compensation. In my opinion, almost all founder compensation in a startup should be tied to, or at least contingent upon, the achievement of performance milestones, and time dispersed in such a way that incentivizes long term alignment with the company and real value building."What are some best practices for this in your experience? In your experience, how early should co-founders finalize some sort of formal agreement? This is a conversation that obviously needs to happen as early as possible, but in terms of a "trial period" between co-founders, do you have any suggestions?

Rich, I love this post. Such a great reminder, and like yourself, this is something that I often do at least once per week. It is so powerful to look back over the years at the powerful transformation that took place. So powerful in fact that we become a more amazing, more intelligent, more courageous us. I believe it brings us closer to our core and our highest values and purpose in life. Keep up all you do my friend! You are an inspiration !
