I will draft a startup founder equity and ownership agreement
Licensed US Attorney : Bulletproof Legal Frameworks for Startups
About this Gig
Equity is the most valuable currency your startup has. Improperly structured equity splits can ruin a company's capitalization table, dilute your ownership, and scare away institutional investors.
I am Kristiana Marie Wright (Bar #367567), a licensed U.S. attorney. I provide precise, investor-grade Equity and Ownership Agreements that clearly define who owns what, under what conditions, and how shares are protected as your company grows.
This gig ensures strict legal clarity regarding:
- Total authorized shares/units and individual allocations
- Conditions of equity issuance (e.g., tying equity to IP assignment)
- Transfer restrictions (preventing founders from selling shares to outside third parties)
- Anti-dilution mechanisms
- Right of First Refusal (ROFR)
When it comes time to raise capital, venture capitalists will scrutinize your equity documents. Ensure your cap table is legally sound, accurate, and optimized for future funding rounds. Order today for meticulous, attorney-drafted equity protection.

FAQ
Does this prevent a founder from selling shares to a competitor?
Yes. Depending on your package, I include strict transfer restrictions and a Right of First Refusal for the company.
Is this the same as a Vesting Agreement?
No. This agreement dictates the amount and type of equity. A vesting agreement dictates the timeline on which it is earned.
Can you help structure different classes of shares?
Yes, the Premium package covers complex structuring, such as separating voting shares from non-voting shares.
