I will draft a strategic founder agreement for your startup
Professional Corporate Governance And Contracts
About this Gig
For startups, the Founder Agreement is the blueprint for success. As a licensed attorney, I help founders navigate the difficult conversations regarding equity, vesting, and intellectual property before they become deal-breakers.
The biggest mistake founders make is not having a "Vesting Schedule." I draft agreements that ensure founders earn their equity over time, protecting the company if someone leaves early. I also include ironclad "IP Assignment" clauses, ensuring that all code, designs, and inventions belong to the company and not the individual foundera requirement for any future VC funding.
My agreements cover roles and responsibilities, decision-making authority, and the terms for a founders departure. By setting these expectations early, you protect the startup's cap table and its future valuation. I provide the professional legal framework that allows you to innovate with confidence.
Professional Notice: I work exclusively through written correspondence on the Fiverr platform to maintain an accurate audit trail of your startups legal foundation. I do not do phone calls.
