- Elof 11y agohey there. Founder of Late Labs here. We could have avoided the double tax problem if we didn't try and keep a small piece of the equity for the company. Would have to play it like AngelList did for investment (they never actually handled any money or helped with negotiation). Our idea was to keep a very small portion of the equity from each deal to create a big pool of high risk early stage equity... which ended up being our downfall. Bountysource looks like it can avoid that because they only act as a marketplace for introductions. Make sense?
