I will draft a legally binding startup cofounder equity split agreement
Licensed US Attorney Bulletproof Startup Equity Contracts
About this Gig
As a licensed US Attorney (Bar #64970), I know that the #1 reason startups fail is co-founder disputes. Handshake deals and internet templates will not protect your intellectual property or your shares.
I will draft a bulletproof Cofounder Equity Split Agreement tailored to your specific startup. This legally binding document will establish clear boundaries, ownership percentages, and operational duties.
What this contract covers:
- Absolute clarity on equity distribution
- Vesting schedules and 1-year cliffs
- Intellectual Property (IP) assignment to the company
- Founder roles, responsibilities, and voting rights
- Dispute resolution and founder exit clauses
Do not leave your startup's most valuable asset to chance. Investors will scrutinize your founder agreements before funding you. Ensure your business is legally protected from day one. Select your package and lets secure your startup's future.
