About this Gig
Is your startup protected from "dead equity" and future legal disputes?
Poorly structured equity is a deal-killer for VCs. I provide professional, investor-ready Stock Option Agreements and Equity Grants designed to protect founders while motivating talent. Don't risk your cap table with generic templates; you need enforceable instruments that align with long-term growth.
Why choose this service?
As a startup specialist, I draft documents that ensure 409A compliance and safeguard your interests. My agreements include:
Vesting & Cliffs: Standard 4-year schedules with 1-year cliffs to avoid "free riders."
ISO vs. NSO Structure: Tax-efficient grants tailored for US employees or international advisors.
IP Assignment: Robust provisions ensuring the company owns all proprietary technology.
Acceleration Clauses: Single and double-trigger terms to protect holders during acquisitions.
Dilution Safeguards: Protection for founders against future funding rounds.
Deliverables:
- Customized Stock Option Agreement (ISO/NSO)
- Grant Notices & Exercise Agreements
- Vesting Schedule & 83(b) Election Guidance
- Confidentiality & IP Assignment Clauses
