The Fairshare Model: A Performance-Based Capital Structure for Venture-Stage Initial Public Offerings (and Initial Coin Offerings)
Abstract
The goal of The Fairshare Model is to spark a movement to reimagine capitalism at the DNA level. A capital structure is a company's DNA--it defines ownership interests and voting rights--so everything that capitalism is (or can be) flows from the expression of qualities that originates in is capital structure.
