About this Gig
Before an investor hands you a check for your pre-seed round, they will conduct legal due diligence. If your founders' equity isn't vested and your Intellectual Property (IP) isn't legally assigned to the company, your funding will be delayedor denied entirely.

My Expertise Includes:
- Co-Founder Equity Agreements (with Cliff & Vesting schedules)
- Intellectual Property (IP) Assignment Agreements
- Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) for pitch meetings
- Vesting acceleration clauses (Single & Double Trigger)
Don't let a simple legal oversight ruin your pre-seed round. Secure your foundation today.

FAQ
Why do investors care about Founder Agreements?
Investors want to ensure that if a co-founder leaves, they don't take a massive chunk of equity or the company's IP with them.
What is a vesting schedule?
Vesting means equity is earned over time (usually 4 years with a 1-year cliff) rather than given all at once.
Why do I need an IP Assignment?
If you coded or designed your product before incorporating, you own the IP, not the company. Investors invest in the company, so the company must legally own the IP.
Can you customize the equity split?
Absolutely. You will provide the exact percentage breakdown in the requirements section after ordering.
Will these documents pass VC due diligence?
Yes, these documents are drafted to meet the rigorous standards expected by angel investors and venture capital firms.
