Very informative post! Years ago I knew a guy who ran a hobby shop, and he'd bring in new partners whenever he ran low on cash. He'd insist that he always retain 51% of the company (and would dilute earlier partners' equity to bring in the new person). You're totally right that this puts too much power into one party's hands (and does not a good partnership make). Thanks for the link! Very informative post!
