FAQ
What is the difference between a Founder and Shareholder agreement?
A founder agreement focuses on operational roles, IP, and vesting. A shareholder agreement governs the financial and voting rights of the stock itself.
Do I need both agreements?
If you are actively building the product together and issuing stock, the Standard or Premium package (which includes both) is highly recommended.
What is a vesting schedule?
It prevents a founder from walking away with a large chunk of equity on day one. They must "earn" it over time. I will draft this for you.
Will this protect the company’s Intellectual Property?
Yes, the Premium package includes an IP Assignment clause, ensuring the company owns the code, designs, or ideas.
Is my information kept confidential?
Absolutely. As a licensed attorney, I am bound by strict professional confidentiality rules.
How fast can you deliver?
Standard delivery is listed on the packages, but a 24-hour express delivery option is available at checkout.
