See what your startup equity is worth
This newsletter was brought to you bySetappSee what your startup equity is worth
No one — with the possible exception of finance experts — looks at their equity package and thinks, “Yep, makes sense.” In startupland, equity can seem like a lottery ticket.
It's definitely not something to rely on or a replacement for your salary, and that can be confusing. So to help clarify, our fam at AngelList put together a short glossary of terms you're likely to see in your offer. Things like “four-year monthly vest” and “strike price” and “preference stack” and “one-year cliff.”
And we (of course) went down the rabbit hole looking for some great equity-related products as well.

Grow your app with Setapp: revenue, users, & AI

You shipped the app. Now comes the part nobody warns you about.
Billing across dozens of countries. Licensing agreements. Tax compliance. Customer support for users you haven't met yet. And if your app does anything with AI, add provider management and infrastructure costs to the pile. None of that is why you started building — but all of it is now your problem.
Setapp is trying to take it off your plate.
You probably know Setapp as the subscription marketplace — one monthly price, hundreds of Mac apps. On May 21st, they turned toward developers. The pitch is simple: list your app, reach users who are already looking, and let Setapp handle the business layer.
