Reverse Vesting: How Founder Shares and Buybacks Work

  • 9 min read

Reverse vesting gives a founder shares upfront, but the company may repurchase the unvested portion if a specified event occurs. Founders, investors, and advisers use this structure to connect long-term ownership with continued service.

Key Takeaways

  • A founder receives issued shares immediately, subject to a company repurchase right over the unvested portion.
  • The repurchase right usually lapses under a schedule as the founder continues providing services.
  • There is no universal founder equity reverse vesting percentage for a Series A startup.

LLC vs C Corp: Taxes, Ownership & Investment Compared

  • 7 min read

Key Takeaways

  • LLCs and C Corporations differ significantly in tax treatment, ownership structure, and growth potential.
  • C Corps may be better for startups seeking investment due to ease of issuing stock and attracting VCs.
  • LLCs are easier to manage and more flexible in profit distribution and structure.
  • Tax implications vary: LLCs offer pass-through taxation, while C Corps may face double taxation but benefit from reinvestment strategies.
  • International business owners may prefer C Corps for credibility and ease of foreign ownership.

LLC Versus C Corp: What Is It?

Sole Proprietorship

What is a Sole Proprietorship?

A sole proprietorship is a business with a single owner. It is the dream for many people. These businesses, which are not registered as an LLC (limited liability company), a partnership, or a corporation, have the benefit of flexibility. Sole proprietors can work as freelancers — independent contractors — or they can run physical, on-the-ground businesses. 

Often, home-based businesses are sole proprietorships. There are 23 million of these in operation today, vastly more than any other traditional forms. This sort of business carries dangers with it, and it's important to understand them so you can avoid pitfalls in bookkeeping, taxes, and other potential liabilities.

Sole Proprietorship vs. Incorporated Business
