SUMMARY:SLICING PIE Author Mike Moyer in partnership w/ Orlando Entrepreneurs & Harvest
DESCRIPTION:This event is presented by Harvest: Simple Online Time Tracking Software (www.getHarvest.com)! \nStarterStudio is partnering with Orlando Entrepreneurs to host Mike Moyer\, author of Slicing Pie!

Every company founder that plans to share equity needs to learn how to ensure fairness. \nKey Lessons: \nWhy conventional fixed-split equity models set founders up for failureHow to implement a dynamic equity model that is perfectly fair to all participantsWhat to do when partners or employees quit or get fired \nAbout Mike Moyer \nMike Moyer is a career entrepreneur who has started companies\, worked for startups\, and held senior management positions at established businesses. He is now the managing director of Fair and Square Ventures\, LLC\, a company that provides education\, software\, growth consulting and early-stage investments for startup companies and the founder of MosquitOasis\, which produces camping equipment.
