I will draft founder restricted stock agreements rsa and 83b elections
Licensed US Corporate Attorney Strategic Equity, Startup Counsel
About this Gig
The most critical step in forming a startup is issuing founder equity correctly. As a licensed US Attorney (Bar #342517), I draft institutional-grade Restricted Stock Purchase Agreements (RSAs) equipped with standard vesting schedules and the crucial 83(b) Election forms.
Failing to implement vesting or missing the 30-day 83(b) election window can result in massive tax penalties and un-investable cap tables. I ensure your founder equity is structured to protect the company and satisfy future Venture Capital due diligence.
Deliverables include:
- Restricted Stock Purchase Agreements (RSA)
- Custom Vesting Schedules (e.g., 4-year with 1-year cliff)
- 83(b) Election Forms (Ready for your signature and IRS mailing)
- Spousal Consents (Critical for community property states)
- Board Consent Resolutions (Premium Package)
Stop guessing with your company's foundation. Get your equity issued correctly, legally, and professionally from day one by a licensed attorney.
Note: I do not mail the 83(b) to the IRS for you. Communication is exclusively via Fiverr

FAQ
What is an 83(b) election?
It is a letter sent to the IRS letting them know you choose to be taxed on your equity on the date it was granted, rather than as it vests. It can save founders millions in taxes.
Do you file the 83(b) election for me?
No. By law, the taxpayer must physically sign and mail the 83(b) election to the IRS via certified mail. I provide the completed forms and precise mailing instructions.
What is a standard vesting schedule?
The industry standard for startups is a 4-year vesting schedule with a 1-year cliff. I can draft this or customize it to your specific needs.
Why do I need a spousal consent form?
If a founder lives in a community property state, their spouse may have a legal claim to the equity. This form protects the company's ownership structure.
Can you draft these for an LLC?
This gig is specifically designed for C-Corporations issuing stock. If you have an LLC, please message me first to discuss Profits Interests.
