对话7
Alright team, now that we've solidified the concept, let's talk about defining our roles and responsibilities. Who wants to take the lead on product development?
好的，各位，既然我们已经确定了概念，那么接下来我们来讨论一下角色和职责的界定。谁想负责产品开发？
I'm definitely keen on that. My background is strong in software architecture and design, so I'd be happy to spearhead product development and technical oversight.
我非常有兴趣。我在软件架构和设计方面有很强的背景，所以我很乐意牵头产品开发和技术监督。
That makes sense, Ava. And I'm looking to handle the operational side, setting up the workflows, and managing the day-to-day. I have a lot of experience in project management.
这很合理，艾娃。我则想负责运营方面，包括建立工作流程和日常管理。我在项目管理方面经验丰富。
Excellent. So, Ava, you'll be CTO, and Brian, you'll be COO. That leaves me to focus on business strategy, partnerships, and fundraising. I’ll act as CEO.
很好。那么，艾娃，你将担任首席技术官，布莱恩，你将担任首席运营官。这样我就可以专注于业务战略、合作伙伴关系和融资。我将担任首席执行官。
Sounds like a solid structure. Now, regarding equity distribution, how do we want to approach that, given our different levels of initial input and ongoing commitment?
听起来是个不错的架构。现在，关于股权分配，考虑到我们投入和持续承诺的不同，我们想如何处理呢？
I suggest we assign a base percentage and then adjust based on specific contributions, perhaps with a vesting schedule. We need to make sure everyone feels fairly compensated for their hard work.
我建议我们先设定一个基础百分比，然后根据具体的贡献进行调整，或许可以加上一个归属期。我们得确保每个人都觉得他们的辛勤工作得到了公平的报酬。
I agree. A vesting schedule is crucial for long-term commitment. Let's draft a proposal for equity split based on these discussions and review it next week. We should involve a legal advisor for the final agreement.
我同意。归属期对长期承诺至关重要。让我们根据这些讨论起草一份股权分配提案，下周再进行审查。最终协议我们应该咨询法律顾问。
