Q

I've been working on a business idea for sometime and have found 2 young motivated programmers who are enthusiastic about the possibilities of the idea. We have been working together now for roughly 3 months but talks have been discussed regarding ownership. We came to the conclusion that at this point we are at "...percentage of nothing is nothing...". Where does it come to a point where this requires some focus. (I'm 35, have been working on idea for roughly 9 yrs. Others are early 20's)

you could always give people the ol carrot and stick approach of an allocation which a 4 year call option against it – you get 10% of the company but you only really earn 1/48th of it every month you stick around
