FAQ
What happens if I miss the 83(b) deadline?
The IRS 30-day deadline is strict. Missing it means you will be taxed on the vesting equity as ordinary income as its value grows.
Why does the company need an IP assignment?
If founders create code or business plans before incorporating, that IP belongs to them personally until legally transferred to the C-Corp.
Do you file the 83(b) for me?
No, the IRS requires a physical signature ("wet ink") and physical mail. I prepare the exact documents and instructions for you to mail.
Does the IP agreement cover future inventions?
Yes, it ensures that anything you invent while working for the startup belongs to the startup.
Are these documents VC compliant?
Yes, they are drafted to the strict standards expected by institutional venture capitalists.
