I will draft founder equity, stock purchase, and ownership agreements
Licensed US Attorney Institutional Grade Startup Equity Corporate Contracts
About this Gig
Unclear equity allocation kills early-stage companies before they ever raise capital.
I am Karch Eric Edwin, a licensed US Attorney (Bar #284333), and I draft institutional-grade Founder Equity and Ownership agreements that safeguard your company from day one.
Generic online templates frequently fail standard venture capital due diligence, omit critical intellectual property assignments, and create catastrophic tax liabilities. I prepare customized Common Stock Purchase Agreements (SPAs), Founder Share Issuance packages, and Corporate Authorizations tailored to Delaware or your specific US state jurisdiction.
What You Receive:
- Tailored Founder Common Stock Purchase Agreements (SPAs)
- Comprehensive IP and Technology Contribution Assignments
- Board of Directors Initial Equity Authorizations & Consents
- Section 83(b) Election Filing Instructions and Templates
- Capitalization Table Summary and Ownership Ledger
Protect your ownership stake, streamline future venture capital financing, and eliminate co-founder disputes with contracts drafted by licensed US legal counsel.

FAQ
Why do I need an attorney-drafted Stock Purchase Agreement (SPA)?
An SPA formally governs the transfer and purchase of initial shares. It documents consideration (cash or IP), issues ownership under state law, and prevents co-founders from later asserting unrecorded equity claims.
Does this include the IRS Section 83(b) Election?
Yes. When purchasing shares subject to vesting or nominal value, an 83(b) election must be filed with the IRS within 30 days of acquisition to avoid severe tax penalties as your company grows.
Are these documents valid across all US states?
Yes. While most startups incorporate in Delaware, I tailor equity documentation to comply with corporate statutes in Delaware, California, New York, Texas, and all other 50 US states.
What information do you need to get started?
You will need to provide your company name, state of incorporation, founder names, ownership percentages, price per share, and details on intellectual property contributed.
Does the agreement include Intellectual Property (IP) assignment?
Yes. The Standard and Premium tiers include explicit provisions ensuring all proprietary assets, code, and IP developed prior to incorporation belong exclusively to the corporate entity.
Will these documents pass Venture Capital (VC) due diligence?
Yes. All agreements are drafted to meet the exact standards expected by institutional angels, accelerators (e.g., Y Combinator), and tier-1 venture capital firms.
