I will draft founder equity agreements with vesting schedules
Licensed US Attorney VC Ready Delaware Startup Formation Equity
About this Gig
Founder disputes are the number one reason early-stage startups fail. Protecting your cap table with rock-solid equity agreements and vesting schedules is non-negotiable.
As a licensed US Attorney (Bar #64656), I draft precise Founder Equity Agreements (Restricted Stock Purchase Agreements) that protect the company and its shareholders.
Without proper vesting (typically a 4-year vest with a 1-year cliff), a departing co-founder can walk away with a massive chunk of your company, rendering it un-investable.
I will legally draft:
- Restricted Stock Purchase Agreements
- Custom Vesting Schedules & Cliffs
- Single & Double Trigger Acceleration Clauses
- Right of First Refusal (ROFR) provisions
Protect your life's work. I provide decisive, VC-standard legal drafting to ensure your equity distribution is airtight. Choose your package and secure your cap table today.

FAQ
What is a vesting schedule?
It dictates how founders "earn" their shares over time, protecting the company if a founder leaves early.
What is a 1-year cliff?
It means no shares vest until exactly one year of service is completed, at which point 25% of shares immediately vest.
What is single vs. double trigger acceleration?
These clauses determine if unvested shares automatically vest if the company is acquired, or if the founder is fired post-acquisition.
Can you draft agreements for foreign founders?
Yes, the agreements are governed by US/Delaware law regardless of where the founders reside.
Are these templates?
No. While I use VC-standard legal frameworks, every agreement is customized to your specific cap table and vesting terms.
