The target customer, for whom the product or service is ultimately designed for. The goal of a startup is usually for the product or service to be useful to the end user. - Equity
Equity represents the value of shares issued by a startup to its respective shareholders. Equity is calculated by taking away a company’s total liabilities from its total assets. - Evangelists
Evangelists are basically ambassadors for your business. You as a the founder should be the number one evangelist, convincing and converting people to believe in and use your products. An evangelist can be a team member, a board member, or anyone else with a purpose in your business. - Exit Strategy
An exit strategy is a plan to sell off ownership of a company either via mergers, acquisitions or IPO. The exit strategy is usually set up in advance to give the founder/owner a way to reduce or liquidate their stake in the business (generally for profit).
