FAQ
What is a vesting schedule?
It is a timeline that dictates when founders actually "earn" their shares, usually over 4 years, to ensure long-term commitment.
What is a cliff?
A cliff is a probation period (usually 1 year). If a founder leaves before the cliff, they walk away with 0% equity.
Will investors accept this agreement?
Yes, I draft these to meet the strict due diligence standards expected by U.S. angel investors and venture capitalists.
