I will prepare a comprehensive startup founders agreement as an attorney
Licensed US Attorney: Premium Corporate and Business Contracts
About this Gig
Investors will not fund your startup if your foundation isn't legally secure. As a licensed U.S. Attorney (Bar #49876), I draft specialized Founders Agreements designed to protect tech startups, founders, and future intellectual property.
Disagreements over equity, roles, or IP ownership can destroy a startup before it even launches. My agreements ensure every co-founder's rights and obligations are strictly defined, securing your company for future seed funding or venture capital rounds.
Key provisions include:
- Equity distribution and ownership structuring
- Vesting schedules & cliff periods (crucial for protecting equity)
- Intellectual Property (IP) Assignment (transferring ideas to the company)
- Roles, time commitments, and compensation
- Co-founder departure rules (Good Leaver / Bad Leaver clauses)
Ensure your startup is investor-ready and legally protected from day one. Place your order today to secure your companys future.

FAQ
Why is an IP Assignment clause so important?
It ensures that all code, designs, and ideas created by the founders are legally owned by the company, not the individuals—a strict requirement for future investors.
Can you include a standard 4-year vesting schedule with a 1-year cliff?
Yes, the Standard and Premium packages include fully customized vesting schedules to protect the company if a founder leaves early.
Is this document ready to be reviewed by venture capitalists?
Absolutely. I draft these agreements using professional corporate legal standards expected by U.S. investors and institutional lenders.
