Slicing Pie

Dashboard

The main view gives you an instant snapshot of the current split and recent activity.

The Ledger

Track every single contribution—time, money, ideas, or supplies.

Importing Data

Got a CSV of time entries from (Toggl, SolidTime or Clickify)? No problem. Bulk import contributions easily.

What is this?

Hello, I built this because splitting equity in a startup is usually a nightmare, and the "Slicing Pie" model is honestly the only fair way to do it. I wanted a tool that was simple, clean, and self-hosted so I could track everything without paying for expensive SaaS subscriptions or dealing with complex spreadsheets.

This project is based on the principles from the book "Slicing Pie Handbook: Perfectly Fair Equity Splits for Bootstrapped Startups" by Mike Moyer. If you haven't read it, you absolutely should. It outlines a dynamic equity split model that adapts as your startup evolves, ensuring everyone gets exactly what they deserve based on what they contribute.

This is a modern, real-time equity calculator that does the math for you.

Who is this for?

• Founders who care about fairness and transparency.
• Early-stage teams who are bootstrapping and contributing time/money differently.
• Developers who want a solid, self-hosted solution to manage their cap table dynamically.

What does it do?

• Real-time Equity Tracking: See exactly who owns what percentage of the company based on actual contributions.
• Smart Multipliers: Automatically applies the Slicing Pie logic (e.g., 2x multiplier for unpaid time, 4x for cash).
• Visual Analytics: Includes velocity charts, contribution breakdowns, and a "What If" calculator to model future scenarios.
• Team Hub: Manage your co-founders, track activity feeds, and yes, it has a custom avatar generator because why not?
• Tech Stack: Built on the bleeding edge with Next.js 16, React 19, Tailwind CSS v4, and PocketBase. It's fast, typed, and easy to extend.

Quick Start

1. Get the backend running:

   ./pocketbase/pocketbase serve

   (Keep this terminal open)

2. Install dependencies:

   pnpm install

3. Run the frontend:

   pnpm dev

4. Open http://localhost:3000 and start slicing!

Tech Details

• Frontend: Next.js 16 (App Router), React 19, TypeScript
• Styling: Tailwind CSS v4
• Backend: PocketBase (local instance included)
• Charts: Recharts

Enjoy! If you're building something cool, this should help you keep the equity split drama-free.
