About this Gig

I am Charles Paul Rettig, a licensed U.S. legal professional (Bar ID: 97848).

Splitting equity is rarely as simple as 50/50. What happens if one co-founder stops working? What if one contributes cash and the other contributes sweat equity? A Startup Equity Split Agreement explicitly answers these questions and protects the business.

I specialize in drafting agreements that align founder incentives, protect the majority stakeholders, and prevent "dead equity" (equity held by founders who have abandoned the project).


Your agreement will feature:

  • Precise equity division mechanics.
  • Role definitions and required time commitments.
  • Sweat equity vs. capital contribution delineations.
  • Vesting and clawback provisions for departing founders.
  • Dispute resolution mechanisms.

Investors thoroughly audit equity splits during due diligence. Ensure yours is drafted by a licensed attorney so it passes scrutiny.
