When setting up a company, there is always a complexity when it comes to the issue of share distribution. Which party brings which input into the company in the form of capital, know-how, resources or network and which value weighs more.

Of course, an imbalance within the shareholders always harbors potential for conflict, especially if all founders are also involved operationally.

An excessive imbalance or a shift in decision-making power often leads to disagreements and, in the worst case scenario, can lead to a separation. 

However, such a separation is often also breeding ground for a creative restart in a new constellation.

My own learnings over the last few years are definitely that not only a balanced distribution of shares within the founding teams plays a crucial role in the motivation and success of the company, but that key people in the team should definitely be involved in the company.

If you have ideas and inspiration, you should constantly reinvent yourself and pursue your passions in order to find your perfect situation professionally. With every positive or negative experience you learn something new and can better and better assess how you can ideally contribute!
