The main reason why the three protagonists in the film are falling apart is that they have not done a good job in the top-level design of' equity distribution'.
In the early stage of starting a business, the equity distribution among founders must not be egalitarian. Many times, founders don't want to talk about the issue of equity distribution, and feel that it is not easy to talk about this topic among friends, so many people either completely avoid this issue, or just say some ambiguous agreements, such as "We are equal" and "Let's talk about other things first", or delay the discussion of this issue and say "We have nothing to say, we will talk about it later".
If there are three or more founders, this discussion becomes more difficult. Over time, everyone will feel that they are indispensable contributors to the success of the project, and the discussion of equity distribution will become more and more difficult, eventually laying hidden dangers.
In real life, friends as partners are very common. There are also many cases of falling apart because of the equity dispute, such as the equity dispute of Vanke, which led to Wang Shi's sudden departure; Master Xi's dispute over the equity of Chinese hamburger led to the founder being kicked out.
What kind of friends are suitable for starting a company in partnership? It is more reliable to choose friends according to the scene. Friends who have been running in for a long time at work are most suitable for starting a business together, while friends who have been playing together for a long time in life need to be observed again.
When starting a business, you will often encounter difficulties and setbacks, which is also the most test of human nature. People who often eat, sing and play with you will generally encounter many unexpected contradictions when the scene turns to work. If they are friends who have been running in for a long time at work, the tacit understanding between them is relatively high, and the probability of friction is much smaller.
Entrepreneurial selection of partners must look at two points: first, the values are consistent, that is to say, there is a * * * vision; Second, ability and resources are complementary and irreplaceable in the team.
For example, as a design company, if the founder has strong design ability, then give priority to people with strong business ability to work together, so as to maximize the creation of value.
When friends start a company together, they can suffer a lot, but few can * * * have money. If the company fails, it is easy to say that if it succeeds, it will involve huge benefits. Who can keep a normal heart?
