that article makes it sound like immediately distributing equity is super important. having a rough idea of the pie sizes is probably a good idea, but 1 month vesting like the site says? no way! honestly, at this point i wouldn't start anything without a one year cliff for all cofounders (including me) anymore.

if there's a net positive return on kicking you within the first year, you're either not pulling your weight or your cofounders are acting irrational and will kill the company anyway.
