FAQ
Why do co-founders need a formal agreement early on?
It prevents deadlocks, assigns code/IP to the business, and establishes what happens if a founder leaves early.
What is a vesting schedule, and can you include one?
Yes. Vesting ensures founders earn their equity over time, protecting remaining founders if someone walks away.
Does this document transfer IP created prior to incorporation?
Yes. My agreements include assignment language transferring all relevant pre-incorporation IP to the enterprise.
Can this agreement be upgraded later into a full LLC Operating Agreement?
Yes. This agreement sets the legal framework, which can be easily adapted into formal corporate filings later.
What if co-founders disagree on equity shares during drafting?
I draft clear, objective terms based on your consensus inputs to ensure mutual legal protection.
Will I receive an editable file?
Yes. You will receive editable Microsoft Word (.docx) and ready-to-sign PDF copies.
