Dear legal experts of the forum, I am a professor and a biomedical engineer, in Virginia, owner of a start-up (an LLC) that currently does nothing... I have several interests in computer-assisted medicine related to my research, including scoliosis surgery planning with ligamentoskeletal model of the spine, interactive haptics-driven simulators for neurosurgery and obstetrics, and geriatric fall detection for injury mitigation. I plan on pursuing SBIRs and STTRs over time, to kick-start this entity.
I plan to give an equal portion of the shares to a talented PhD graduate of mine, to continue as a partnership, and I would also like to reward future collaborators along the way, which will mean setting aside roughly a third of the ownership for other collaborators. Is it possible to associate ownership with a division of an LLC: scoliosis surgery planning division, neurological sim division, etc., whereby my student and I would each hold a third of all divisions, and we would allocate the remaining third of each division to interested collaborators?
Thanks for your kind support.
