Answer a few questions about your founding team and get a suggested equity split between c
Foundrs is a web-based calculator that helps co-founders work out how to divide equity in a startup. It asks a series of questions about the founding team and returns a suggested split, aiming to surface a difficult conversation early rather than defer it. The tool is described by its author as experimental.
The calculator presents a suggested equity split based on the answers provided, with a counter showing how many questions have been answered. Its FAQ covers assumptions behind the results, including a typical four-year vesting schedule with no cliff and no significant salary for co-founders. It also addresses scenarios such as a founder who has worked on the project longer, cash contributions from a founder, design-oriented projects, and teams larger than three. The tool does not handle salaries, significant cash investments, or co-founders joining well after an initial product has shipped.
Foundrs is aimed at startup founding teams deciding how to split ownership. It runs in the browser and is presented as an experimental tool; no pricing, plans, or trial details are stated.
