Slicing Pie Founder Mike Moyer Joins Quidli

Inventor of the “Perfectly Fair Equity Split” to Work for Equity

We’re pleased to announce that Mike Moyer, the creator of the innovative equity splitting model known as “Slicing Pie,” has joined Quidli as an adviser!

“The time has come to move equity documentation to the blockchain, I’m happy to be working with the Quidli team as they build a user experience that makes this possible for entrepreneurs.”

It’s no secret that Mike’s work had a major impact on Quidli — Slicing Pie was the first exposure that our core team had to the idea of “work for equity.” His approach to bootstrapping startups using “perfectly fair equity splits” was an invaluable tool for Florent and the success of his last startup, and it continues to be a significant source of inspiration to all of us today. In fact, the Slicing Pie Handbook is strongly recommended reading for all who join Quidli, as well as our customers, in order to fundamentally understand how equity can be effectively used to build and grow an early-stage company.

Mike is advising Quidli on a variety of points including product, communications, and business development. His experience and knowledge in equity splits, building businesses across industries, and accelerating growth will be invaluable for us in our overall development going forward.
