About this Gig
Distributing equity is the most critical financial decision a startup will make. Done incorrectly, you risk giving away permanent control to a founder who stops contributing. As a licensed U.S. attorney (Bar No. #010450), I draft elite Founder Equity Distribution Agreements designed to protect the companys long-term interests.
I do not use generic, one-size-fits-all templates. Every document is strategically drafted to reflect standard Silicon Valley protection mechanisms.
Key Features Available:
- Vesting & Cliffs: Ensure equity is earned through continued service.
- Good Leaver / Bad Leaver Clauses: Define exactly what happens to a founder's equity if they resign amicably versus being terminated for cause.
- Repurchase Rights: Give the company the legal right to buy back unvested shares.
- Performance Milestones: Tie equity distribution to specific business goals.
Protect your equity pool before you issue a single share. Secure a premium, legally binding contract drafted by a trusted U.S. corporate attorney. Order your package today

FAQ
What is a Good Leaver/Bad Leaver clause?
It dictates equity retention. A "Good Leaver" (e.g., leaving due to illness) may keep vested shares. A "Bad Leaver" (e.g., fired for fraud) may forfeit their shares entirely.
What is a cliff in equity distribution?
A cliff is a waiting period (usually 1 year) before any equity vests. If a founder leaves before the cliff, they receive 0% equity.
Can we tie equity to performance rather than time?
Absolutely. The Premium package can be customized to distribute equity based on specific revenue, development, or funding milestones.
Can this replace a company operating agreement?
No. This agreement specifically governs equity distribution. It works alongside your Operating Agreement or Corporate Bylaws.
Will this hold up in a court of law?
Yes. As a licensed U.S. attorney, I ensure the legal phrasing is precise, enforceable, and compliant with U.S. corporate standards.
