Question
The company I work for has been around for about 25yrs and does around $100m annually. They asked me to build a team but I want to build it with ownership. I have a plan to develop a service and a product that I think they will like but I want my "team" to actually be a company that we can spin out after certain milestones are met. I'm looking for someone to bounce ideas off of in terms of structure, how equity should be divided, milestones to trigger a spin out etc.
Answer
I have been in your shoes! Short answer is that it is not easy (but not impossible!) to pull off. Happy to help via a call!
