It's getting tiring.

I love this show, but them getting nearly fucked all the time makes me hate the end of every episode. Build up... ends in shitty disappointment just to happen again next week.
They need to stop with that trope next season. Seriously.
But for the more important nerd rant. We never know how much the gang owns in the company. Erlich has 10%, Dinesh ??, Gilfoyle ??, Russ had 10%? and Raviga 10%? Am I wrongly under the impression that someone with majority ownership can't control his company because of board seat agreements which apparently supersede actual ownership?

Erlich has 10% for sure and I think the others are low single-digits. I think when then female coder was fucking with them she mentions how much she gets and it's a higher number than Dinesh and Gilfyole and they get pissed. I'm assuming 5% ish each. There are ~5 of them and I think Richard wants to own at least 51% of the company if he can. So him + Erlich is 60+% with Jared, Dinesh, Gilfyole, and funders making up the other ~40%.

Russ's term sheet gave him 2 votes, they were in a shitty situation and agreed to it. Raviga bought out Russ's stake in the company, getting his 2 votes and they already had 1 vote. Not all shares in a company are always voting shares, so it would appear they control more than 51% of voting shares.
IIRC from what they've said in show:
Peter Gregory has 5% ( "$200,000 for 5%" )
Dinesh and Gilfoy have 3% each ( "Three ? That's weird, I thought you got in at the beginning" )
Haven't said what Jared has.
Monica has something, wasn't clear if that was part of Peter's 5%, or in addition to.
Russ has no percentage, just the board seats.
So Richard still has more than 80% of the shares, just only 2/5 of the board. He is probably regretting demanding Monica get a board seat ;p

Pretty good episode, unfortunately did not live up to dick scene in season 1, but that's ok. The always getting shit on thing is a little tiring now, but it was good to at least see them beat out Hooli.

I was wondering the same thing - even if she voted with Richard and they canned her, she's still have a seat on the board.
