Founder Agreements

Your company or working name — we use it to label the agreement.

Everyone who will hold founder equity. The agreement sets each founder's stake and role.

We document the equity split and can advise on a fair structure if it is not settled.

Vesting means founders earn their shares over time (commonly 4 years with a 1-year cliff), so a founder who leaves early does not keep all their equity.

An IP assignment makes sure work the founders create belongs to the company — investors expect this.

The country (and US state, if relevant) where the company is or will be incorporated — it sets the governing law.

Roles and titles, decision-making, what happens if a founder leaves, or anything specific.
