Great question, Nathan! A few resources I’ve found really helpful when structuring partnerships: 📚 The Founder’s Dilemma – already mentioned, but worth repeating. Clear breakdowns of equity splits, roles, and long-term alignment issues. 📚 Venture Deals – more geared toward startups, but the chapters on ownership, board rights, and investor dynamics are gold for any partnership. 📚 Slicing Pie – super practical for figuring out how to split equity fairly based on each person’s real-time contribution. 🔧 Tools & Templates – Cooley GO and Orrick’s Startup Toolkit have free docs and frameworks – LegalZoom and Clerky if you're looking for plug-and-play agreement setups Happy to DM or share more if you're building something around acquisition or investment structures too!

Please please do not use slicing pie as a resource. Fundamentally the issue is what value does a partner bring to the company- period. An idea is nice, a cool name is great, but nothing beats sweat equity and responsive industry contacts.
