Why do 50/50 partnerships fail? What is the difference between "Real Equity" and "Share Options"? And what is the single best negotiation tactic when selling your company?

In this episode of VIDA XL, we get technical about the structure of your business. Conflict usually arises not from personality clashes, but from misaligned goals—one partner wants cash now, the other wants to scale. I break down how to prevent this before it starts.

We also dive deep into Equity Ownership. I explain why giving equity to your team is essential for scaling, and I share a personal horror story about owning stock market options versus real physical equity (and how it cost me a fortune).

Finally, we cover Exit Strategies. I share the lesson I learned selling my agency to PwC: The best way to sell your business for maximum value is to build a business you don't want to sell.

In this video, you’ll learn: ⚖️ Conflict Resolution: How to align goals to stop co-founder disputes before they destroy the company. 📉 Equity vs. Options: The critical legal difference that determines if you actually have power or just a payout. 🦄 The SAFE Agreement: How to use the Y-Combinator model to get investment without valuing your company immediately. 🛑 Reverse Engineering: How to structure your shares today for an IPO tomorrow. 💰 The Art of the Exit: Why partnerships (like mine with PwC) are the best path to a sale.
