Abstract

In modern management, the design of equity structure exerts an important influence on the operation and development of a company. A scientific and reasonable equity structure for companies in the early days will prevent and control their own risks in different stages, while the application of information management technology is also indispensable in the current big data environment. Therefore, this paper determined the weight by means of the 0-9 scoring method to evaluate the importance of equity and propose the idea of innovative design for the equity structure in multiple-holding start-ups. Eventually, a tool to optimize equity structure was designed to serve as information management technology for risk prevention and control in start-ups. It can effectively safeguard the rights and interests of all the shareholders based on various ranks, demonstrating the sincerity of the founding team to the greatest extent. By setting a rational proportion and making fine-tuning in accordance with the needs of all stakeholders, both the decision rights of the founding team and the trust of the external investors are guaranteed.
