How to share profit based on both effort and skill? @AlainRaynaud : Founders are shareholders AND employees, but shareholders don't necessarily have to be employees. Even if your contract says "not an employee", it can be considered employment (by IRS, USCIS and courts) is it's a job per the job market. eg: Meeting for coffee with advisers isn't a 'job' but calling customers or writing code is a employable activity. I'm not a lawyer but I did hear this from a very reputed startup lawyer. |

Why did Facebook stop giving out options in 2007 and start giving out RSUs (restricted stock units)? @ Michael Very unlikely. The vesting schedule is determined ahead of time, defined as the restrictions themselves. ('R' of RSU). At that predetermined time/schedule, it vests and the stock becomes 'unrestricted' and property of the employee. Facebook cannot tell an employee 'you must sell this stock on the day it vests' - it's the employees property. He or she may sell that stock 1 day later or 10 years later. |

How can I commercially profit from the discovery of new algorithms? Apart from the comment above on copyrighting an algorithm (you can't - only copyright one implementation of the code) I want to add that you can't even patent it. Pure algorithms/ideas can't be patented, only the actual engineering systems that embody the algorithm can be. If you're looking to profit, you will need to make a product out of the algorithm -> patent/copyright that -> sell the product. Algorithm will remain a 'trade secret'. Other route is publish it and become famous. |
