Co-Founder Equity Split Tracker With Vesting Cliff Built In

One link, one co-founder equity split tracker — list contribution categories, score each founder, vote the final allocation, vest over 4 years with a 1-year cliff.

The most common first-year-founder mistake is splitting equity 50/50 on day one with no vesting and no cliff. Six months in, one founder ghosts and walks away with half the company. This co-founder equity split tracker combo wapin enforces the discipline that protects the team: a checklist with the contribution categories pre-filled (technical contribution, sales contribution, capital, idea, time, network, opportunity cost), a poll where every co-founder votes the final allocation (anonymous so the conversation is honest), and a split-money block holding the actual founder expense ledger so nobody is silently subsidizing the company without credit. As a co-founder equity split tracker it works because every founder sees the same categories on the same link — the conversation goes from 'what do you think?' to 'here is what each of us actually contributed, scored 1-5, multiplied by category weight.' Run the co-founder equity split tracker once at company-start and document the 4-year vest with 1-year cliff in the cap table, and the co-founder equity split tracker will save the founding team from the most predictable lethal mistake of year 1.
