​In this session, Charlie O’Donnell of nextNYC sits down with Chris Hofmann of Qapita for a 30-minute conversation discussing how founders give away equity without realizing it, from merely annoying to seriously expensive.

​Most founders don’t look closely at their cap table until a fundraise or an acquisition forces them to. By then, the ownership is already gone. Usually it wasn’t one big bad decision. It was a bunch of small ones nobody flagged at the time.

​They'll discuss:

• ​Equity that walks out the door when people leave

• ​Letting investors reset your vesting

• ​The SAFE stack

• ​The oversized option pool

• ​Raising too much at too high a price

• ​The missed 83(b)

​Speakers:

​Chris Hoffmann, Solutions Architect at Qapita

​Moderated by Charlie O'Donnell of nextNYC.
