How to get out of a startup cleanly to start a startup?
mseebach: I read somewhere that a reasonable measure it to consider the invenstment. If you were to buy your share, you'd have to put $X down to get a return of 45%*profit(not salaries)/year. Calculate backwards to get the interest rate on various down payments, and see what makes sense.Considering that the 100k is profit and not your salaries, the share's profit is $45.000:$100.000 = 45% interest rate .. a little too nice!$1.000.000 = 4.5% interest, keep your money in the bank$300.000 = 15% interest - pretty sweet spot.Back-of-the-envelope, I'm niether an accountant or an auditor.
