FAQ
Does this service include Delaware state filing fees?
No. This service covers the professional legal drafting and preparation of your structural formation and equity instruments. You submit the Certificate of Incorporation directly with the Delaware Division of Corporations or via your registered ag
Why is the Section 83(b) Election necessary?
If your founder stock is subject to vesting, an 83(b) Election allows you to be taxed on the value of the shares at issuance rather than as they vest over time. Missing the strict 30-day statutory filing window can result in massive, unnecessary tax bills
Can you draft single or double-trigger vesting acceleration?
Yes. Standard and Premium packages can be customized to incorporate single-trigger or standard double-trigger acceleration clauses upon an acquisition and involuntary termination.
Are these documents compatible with tech accelerators and VC funds?
Yes. All documents are drafted using market-standard National Venture Capital Association (NVCA) concepts expected by institutional investors and top accelerators (e.g., Y Combinator, Techstars).
How do we coordinate without phone or Zoom calls?
Through a structured legal intake questionnaire provided immediately upon ordering. You submit your company parameters, equity split, and governance preferences directly through the Fiverr order dashboard.
