I will prepare investor ready founder equity distribution agreements
Licensed US Attorney Bulletproof Startup Equity Contracts
About this Gig
I am Joseph Corigliano, licensed US Attorney (Bar #64970). When you issue initial shares to founders and early team members, it must be done with absolute legal precision. Sloppy equity distribution can result in massive tax penalties (like failed 83(b) elections) and instantly deter Venture Capitalists.
I will draft a high-tier Founder Equity Distribution Agreement that clearly issues and tracks shares in your corporation.
Key provisions include:
- Exact number of shares/units issued to each individual
- Purchase price and consideration terms
- Single-trigger and double-trigger acceleration clauses
- Repurchase rights in the event of termination
- Compliance with corporate governance
Don't let amateur contracts ruin your cap table. I provide Fortune 500-level legal drafting to ensure your equity is distributed legally, cleanly, and securely. Review the packages and place your order.

FAQ
What does "investor-ready" mean?
It means the contract includes the standard protections, vesting, and repurchase rights that VCs demand before investing.
What is an acceleration clause?
It dictates whether unvested shares immediately vest upon a specific event, like the sale of the company.
Does this document actually issue the shares?
Yes, it acts as the legal agreement executing the issuance of shares to the founder.
Is this only for C-Corps?
While most common for C-Corps issuing shares, I can adapt this for LLCs issuing membership units.
Do I need to sign this if I am a solo founder?
Yes. You must legally document the transfer of shares from the company to yourself.
