Short answer

How do I negotiate equity without fighting with my co-founder?

Use your AI to run a data-driven analysis of what each person actually brings to the table. It looks at capital, time, and risk to produce a neutral distribution model. You'll get a clear breakdown of the math behind a fair split.

The outcomes

What you get from the analysis

The AI processes your inputs into these specific results.

RISK

Capital and risk audit

The AI weighs initial cash investments against the personal risk each founder takes. You get a clear view of the actual skin in the game.

WORK

Contribution mapping

It maps out technical, operational, and sales contributions. This shows how much sweat equity each person is actually providing.

SPLIT

Proposed ownership model

You receive a specific percentage distribution based on the analyzed variables. This serves as a neutral starting point for your talk.

HUMAN

Negotiation roadmap

The AI identifies where the math shows an imbalance. You use these insights to lead a real-world discussion about fairness.

The workflow

What your AI does when the data arrives.

The AI acts as a neutral third party to remove the emotion from the math.

  • Analyze our current setup: I've put in $50k and my partner has put in $5k, but I'm working full time while they work part time.

  • Help me prepare for a meeting. My co-founder and I are debating a 50/50 split, but I'm worried about the technical workload imbalance.

  • Review our contribution sheet from Google Drive and suggest an equity split based on the hours logged.

  • Based on our Slack discussions about roles, how should we weigh our equity if one of us is the sole product builder?

FAQ

How this task behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI actually sign a legal contract?

    No. The AI only provides the mathematical logic and data analysis. You must handle all legal documentation and formal agreements yourself.

  • 02

    Does the AI know my private financial data?

    The AI only sees the data you explicitly provide in your chat or through connected files. It doesn't have access to your bank accounts.

  • 03

    Will this work if my co-founder isn't using the same AI?

    Yes. You use the AI to generate the analysis, which you can then present to your co-founder in a normal conversation.

  • 04

    Can it settle an argument if we disagree?

    No. The AI provides a neutral model based on your inputs, but it cannot force a decision or act as a legal mediator.

  • 05

    What if I don't have a formal list of contributions?

    You can describe your situation in plain text, and the AI will use that description to build the model.
