I will draft a bulletproof startup co founder agreement and equity contract
Licensed US Attorney Ironclad Contracts Business Protection
About this Gig
Startups fail because of founder disputes, not competitors. Before you write a line of code or pitch to an investor, you must legally secure your equity and Intellectual Property. I am a licensed US Attorney (Bar #332042) specializing in drafting investor-ready Co-Founder Agreements.
Venture Capitalists will not fund a startup with loose equity distribution. I draft agreements that protect the company from founders who leave early ("dead equity") and ensure IP belongs entirely to the startup.
What this Gig covers:
- Equity ownership percentages & initial capital contributions
- Vesting schedules (e.g., 4-year vesting with a 1-year cliff)
- IP Assignment (Transferring personal IP to the company)
- Roles, time commitments, and voting rights
- Founder departure clauses (Good Leaver / Bad Leaver provisions)
Do not leave your startups future to chance. I provide swift, high-level legal drafting designed for serious founders. Pick your package, fill out the intake requirements, and receive a contract that protects your life's work. Order now.

FAQ
What is a vesting schedule and do I need one?
Yes. It prevents a founder from taking their full equity if they quit after 6 months. It is included in Standard/Premium.
Does this contract protect my startup's ideas?
Yes, it includes strict IP assignment and confidentiality clauses so the company owns the ideas, not individuals.
Is this agreement ready to show to angel investors or VCs?
The Premium package is specifically drafted to meet the due diligence standards of institutional investors.
How many co-founders can be included?
Up to 4 co-founders are included in the base pricing.
What if the co-founders are in different countries?
I draft the agreement using universally recognized corporate legal standards, specifying a governing jurisdiction.
