Does this gig include the state filing fee in Delaware?
This gig covers all legal drafting and corporate documentation required for organizational readiness. State filing fees charged directly by the Delaware Division of Corporations and registered agent costs are paid separately by you during formal filing.

Yes. I tailor your Founder Stock Purchase Agreements to include standard 4-year vesting with a 1-year cliff, or custom schedules including single or double-trigger acceleration upon an acquisition or change of control.
Do these documents protect company ownership over founder-created IP?
Yes. The Standard and Premium tiers include proprietary invention assignments ensuring all code, trademarks, patents, and business ideas developed by founders belong solely to the Delaware corporate entity, avoiding title defects.
