I will write a precise founder vesting agreement for your startup
Licensed US Attorney, Startup Legal and Contract Drafting Expert
About this Gig
Hello! I am Fay Pugh, a licensed US attorney (Bar #198708). Investors demand that founders earn their equity over time. A Founder Vesting Agreement protects the startup by ensuring that if a founder leaves early, the unearned shares are returned to the company.
I will draft a meticulous vesting agreement that establishes clear conditions for equity ownership. Whether you need standard time-based vesting (e.g., 4-year vesting with a 1-year cliff) or complex milestone-based vesting, I will construct a legally sound document. I can also include critical acceleration clauses (single or double trigger) to protect founders in the event of a company sale or acquisition. Ensure your cap table remains clean and investor-ready with attorney-drafted contracts.
