What is Founder Equity?

Founder equity refers to the ownership stake that a founder has in a company. This equity represents the founder’s share of the company’s total equity and is usually expressed as a percentage. Founder equity is a critical component in startups and new ventures, as it determines the founder’s control over the company and their share of the profits and losses.
