FAQ
What is a vesting cliff?
A cliff is a designated period (often 3 to 12 months) before any equity vests. If the advisor leaves before the cliff, they receive zero equity.
What are single vs. double trigger clauses?
These dictate what happens to unvested shares if your company is acquired. I can include these in the Premium package to protect all parties.
Does this work for LLCs and C-Corps?
Yes, I can draft the agreement and vesting schedule to align with your specific corporate entity structure.
Why do I need a vesting schedule for an advisor?
It prevents an advisor from taking equity and failing to perform. It legally requires them to stick around and contribute to earn their shares.
How do we communicate about the contract details?
All communication and document delivery will be handled securely and efficiently through the Fiverr messaging system and order page.
