About this Gig
The majority of startups fail not because of the product, but because of co-founder conflicts. Before you write a line of code or pitch to investors, you need a legally binding Co-Founder Agreement. I am Michael David Berezin, a licensed US Attorney (Bar #311380), and I draft rigorous startup contracts designed to protect your company's future and equity.
Crucial elements I include in your contract:
- Equity ownership percentages and capitalization tables
- Vesting schedules with standard 1-year cliffs to protect unearned equity
- Intellectual Property (IP) Assignment (ensuring the company owns the ideas, not the individuals)
- Roles, time commitments, and salary expectations
- Deadlock resolution for 50/50 partnerships
- Founder departure rules (Good Leaver vs. Bad Leaver clauses)
Investors will demand to see this document. Ensure it is drafted by a professional. My service is designed for busy founders: provide your terms in writing upon purchase, and I will deliver a comprehensive, investor-ready legal contract. Protect your startup by ordering today.

FAQ
What is an equity vesting schedule?
It is a mechanism where founders earn their equity over time (usually 4 years). I include this to ensure a founder can't leave on day one with half the company.
Does this agreement assign IP to the company?
Yes, the Standard and Premium packages include strict IP assignment clauses so the startup owns the technology/brand.
Can we do a call to discuss our equity split?
I operate a strictly text-based practice to ensure fast delivery and accurate documentation. You and your co-founders should decide the split, and I will legally structure it.
What happens if two founders disagree on a major decision?
My Premium package includes "deadlock resolution" mechanisms to ensure the business doesn't freeze during disagreements.
Is this document ready to show Angel Investors or VCs?
Yes, these agreements are drafted to professional corporate standards expected by institutional investors.
