I will setup your 83b election and startup IP assignment as a US attorney
Licensed US Attorney VC Ready Delaware Startup Formation Equity
About this Gig
Two of the most fatal mistakes a startup can make are failing to assign Intellectual Property to the company and missing the IRS 83(b) election deadline.
I am Jeffrey Andrew Gourgon, a licensed US Attorney (Bar #64656). I ensure your startup completely owns its IP and that founders are shielded from catastrophic tax liabilities.
Investors require every founder and contractor to sign a Confidential Information and Invention Assignment Agreement (CIIAA). Furthermore, if you issue equity subject to vesting, you have exactly 30 days to file an 83(b) election with the IRS.
I will provide:
- Rock-solid IP Assignment Agreements (CIIAA)
- Preparation of IRS Form 83(b) Election
- Detailed, step-by-step instructions for mailing your 83(b) to the IRS via Certified Mail
Ensure your technology actually belongs to your business and avoid massive phantom tax bills. Review the packages and order now.

FAQ
What happens if I miss the 30-day 83(b) deadline?
Missing the deadline is irreversible. You may face massive tax liabilities on the increasing value of your vesting shares.
Do you mail the 83(b) form for me?
No, the IRS requires a physical wet signature from you. I prepare the documents and provide exact mailing instructions.
Why does the company need an IP assignment?
VCs invest in the company, not you. If you created the code/product before incorporation, it must be legally transferred to the C-Corp.
Does this cover independent contractors?
Yes, the CIIAA can be customized for both founders and contractors to ensure all work product is owned by the C-Corp.
Can you give me tax advice?
While I prepare the legal 83(b) filing framework, I advise consulting a CPA for specific tax liability calculations.
