@science.nature: Before launching her fragrance and candle brand FORVR Mood, beauty influencer Jackie Aina was ready to give away about 40% of the company. "I didn't really understand what equity meant," she admitted. Her husband, Denis Asamoah, who has an investment banking background, said "Hell no." When she offered 20% instead, he asked, "OK, what's 20% of $400 million?" Today, she says, equity conversations start around half a percent.
