About this Gig

Never give away startup equity upfront. As a Licensed US Attorney (Bar #64831), I have seen founders lose large chunks of their company to advisors who simply didn't deliver.


The ultimate protection for your startup is a legally binding Vesting Schedule attached to an airtight Advisor Agreement. I will draft a contract that ensures your advisor only earns their equity over time or upon hitting specific, measurable milestones.


What this Gig covers:


  • Complete Advisor Agreement drafting
  • Time-based vesting schedules (e.g., 2-year vesting with a 3-month cliff)
  • Milestone-based vesting schedules (tied to deliverables)
  • Acceleration clauses (what happens if your company is acquired)

Protect your cap table from "dead equity." Ensure your advisors earn their keep. Choose your package and place your order now for elite legal drafting.
