STARTUP EQUITY 101
Startup Equity Dictionary. (All definitions are from Google’s dictionary, unless otherwise linked.) Equity: “the value of the shares issued by a company.” “one’s degree of ownership in any asset after all debts associated with that asset are paid off.”. Exercise shares: to choose to buy or sell your shares in a company. MICROLOANS FOR STARTUPS 1. Small amounts. Microloans are called “micro” for a reason. The loan amounts are relatively small, compared to other loan types. 2. Higher interest rates. Some microlenders may charge higher interest rates because they’re taking a higher risk.
