I will draft startup founder agreements and equity vesting documents
Licensed US Attorney, Startup, IP and Corporate Law Expert
About this Gig
Welcome to my legal drafting gig.
The #1 reason startups fail is co-founder disputes. If you launch a company without a legally binding Founder Agreement and a strict Equity Vesting schedule, a departing founder can walk away with half your companys equity and intellectual property. No investor will fund a startup with a broken cap table.
I draft authoritative, investor-ready Founder Agreements that protect your startup's future.
Your custom documents will include:
- Clear equity splits and capitalization frameworks
- Standard 4-year vesting schedules with a 1-year cliff
- Airtight Intellectual Property (IP) assignment to the company
- Buy/sell provisions and deadlock resolution terms
Do not rely on handshake deals. I use precise legal language to guarantee that your equity is protected and your startup is ready for seed funding.
Time is critical. You do not need to schedule a meeting. Review the packages, select the tier that matches your founder count, submit your details through the requirements page, and I will deliver premium legal documents. Order now!

FAQ
Why do I need a vesting schedule?
Vesting ensures founders earn their equity over time (usually 4 years). If a founder quits in year one, they don't get to keep their unearned shares.
What is an IP Assignment?
It legally transfers the rights of any code, designs, or ideas the founders created before incorporation to the company itself.
Do I need to message you before ordering?
No, you can place your order directly by choosing a package and answering the requirement questions.
Is this just a generic template?
No, every document is custom-tailored to your startup's specific equity structure and state laws.
Can you draft for LLCs and C-Corps?
Yes, I can tailor the agreement for either entity type.
Will this satisfy venture capital due diligence?
Absolutely. Clear vesting and IP chain-of-title are the first things VCs look for.
