​In this session, Charlie O’Donnell of nextNYC sits down with Ravi Ravulaparthi of Qapita to discuss how founders can structure advisor compensation, manage equity thoughtfully, and avoid common cap table mistakes.

​Assembling your advisory board is one of the most underrated decisions a founder makes. But how do you fairly compensate advisers without diluting your cap table or creating future friction? In this webinar, we'll dig into the mechanics of advisor equity, standard grants, vesting schedules, acceleration clauses, and what actually works in practice.

​Ravi from Qapita joins us to walk through real cap table scenarios, answer your hardest questions about equity splits, and show you how to structure advisor relationships that stick.

​Whether you're pre-seed or Series A, you'll walk away with a playbook for building an advisory board that's actually useful.
