Standard slicing pie cofounder agreement template for pre-incorporation phase is now customised for Portugal.

Dynamic equity split based on the slicing pie method is very popular with founders as an alternative to the traditional fixed equity splits. Why? Because it is transparent, fair and future proof. And it provides an understandable and objective methodology. It also accommodates for the uncertain future, which is the main blind spot of the fixed splits.  

Lisbon: big thanks to the efforts of Helena Tender, the Portuguese Slicing Pie legal expert, who customised the Cofounder Agreement template using the dynamic equity split for Portugal! The dynamic equity split is based on Mike Moyer’s slicing pie method. This is great news for Portuguese early stage founders, as it gives them the opportunity to use the ‘fairest equity split tool’ and avoid many potential issues that are caused by fixed equity split in too early stages. 

Helena repeatedly used the Slicing Pie Cofounder Agreement and the Cofounder Manifesto to build her own companies and cofounding teams. Being convinced of its benefits and being passionate about materializing great ideas and helping businesses to grow - she decided to make the slicing pie method available for other Portuguese founders. 

The solution is based on the standardised templates developed by Jana Nevrlka, the founder of Cofounding, who coordinates the development of the slicing pie solution for European founders together with great help and support of Mike Moyer and other local slicing pie experts. 

Mike Moyer, the US-based inventor of the Slicing Pie model, was pleased to hear the development  “Slicing Pie is used by thousands of companies all over the world and most countries encourage fairness, but it is always nice to give founders that extra certainty that the model is aligned with the local rules and have local Slicing Pie expertise available.”
