About this Gig
A poorly structured foundation is the leading cause of startup failure. Protect your business, your intellectual property, and your equity with a legally binding Startup Founders Agreement.

I implement industry-standard vesting schedules (including the standard 4-year with a 1-year cliff) to ensure founders earn their shares through continued contribution, protecting the company from walk-aways.
Key inclusions based on package:
- Role definitions & decision-making power
- Equity splits & capital contributions
- Vesting schedules & cliffs
- IP Assignment (protecting company assets)
- Exit, buyout, and dispute resolution terms
