About this Gig
Unearned equity destroys startups. A Founder Vesting Agreement ensures that equity is earned over time or through specific achievements, protecting the company's cap table from "dead equity"shares held by founders who have stopped contributing.
I provide precise equity allocation strategies and binding vesting contracts. Whether you need standard time-based vesting or complex milestone-based stock allocation, I deliver documents that align founder incentives with long-term company growth.
This gig provides:
- Customized Vesting Schedules (Time-based or Milestone-based)
- Cliff implementation (1-year standard)
- Acceleration clauses (Single-trigger or Double-trigger upon company sale)
- Clear equity allocation breakdowns
Maintain a clean cap table and protect your startup from early departures. Review the packages, select the exact vesting structure you require, and place your order directly.

FAQ
What is the difference between time-based and milestone-based vesting?
Time-based awards equity over a specific duration (e.g., 4 years). Milestone-based awards equity upon hitting targets (e.g., launching an app).
What is an acceleration clause?
It dictates what happens to unvested shares if the company is acquired. It can "accelerate" so the founder gets all their shares immediately.
What happens to unvested shares if a founder is fired?
Typically, unvested shares are forfeited and returned to the company's option pool.
Can I use this for early employees as well as founders?
Yes, the Standard and Premium structures can be adapted for early key employees receiving equity.
What is a single vs. double trigger?
Single trigger accelerates vesting upon a sale. Double trigger requires a sale plus the founder being terminated after the sale to accelerate vesting.
