I will draft your US founder equity and vesting schedule agreement
Licensed US Attorney: Startup, Equity and Founder Law
About this Gig
Never give away equity upfront. If a founder leaves on day one with 20% of your company, your startup is uninvestable. As a Licensed US Attorney (Bar #93006), I draft strict US Founder Equity and Vesting Agreements to protect your cap table.
I structure vesting schedules (typically 4 years with a 1-year cliff) ensuring founders earn their equity through continued time and contribution. My agreements include critical legal protections such as single or double-trigger acceleration upon the sale of the company, the company's right to repurchase unvested shares, and "Good Reason / Cause" termination definitions.
Whether you are issuing restricted stock or setting up a framework for early-stage equity, I provide the exact legal documentation expected by top-tier US investors.

FAQ
What is a 1-year cliff?
A cliff means a founder earns no equity for the first 12 months. If they leave at month 11, they leave with nothing. I draft this into the contract.
What is acceleration?
Acceleration dictates what happens to unvested shares if your startup is acquired. I can draft single or double-trigger acceleration clauses.
Can we discuss the vesting schedule on a call?
No. Vesting requires precise, documented metrics. We will discuss your exact timelines and equity percentages clearly via Fiverr messaging.
