I will draft a founder agreement, operating agreement, and safe note
Protecting Startups with Airtight Legal Documents
About this Gig
Are you incorporating a startup, partnering with co-founders, or raising capital?
The biggest mistake founders make is starting a company without a written agreement. Without proper vesting schedules and equity rules, a departing co-founder can walk away with half your company. Furthermore, angel investors will refuse to fund you if your corporate governance isn't perfect.
I am Oliver, a specialized corporate legal writer. I draft high-level, bespoke founder agreements and investment contracts that protect your equity, satisfy venture capitalists, and prevent internal disputes.
What I Provide:
- Founder / Shareholder Agreements: Establishing equity splits, vesting schedules (e.g., 4-year with a 1-year cliff), and voting rights.
- LLC Operating Agreements: The absolute essential governing document for your LLC.
- SAFE Notes (Simple Agreement for Future Equity): The standard contract for raising early-stage startup capital.
- IP Assignment Agreements: Ensuring the company, not the individual developer, owns the code and IP.
Why Choose Me?
- Venture-Ready: Drafted to standard US/UK investor expectations.
- Urgent Delivery: 24-hour turnaround available.

FAQ
What is the difference between an Operating Agreement and a Shareholder Agreement?
An Operating Agreement is used for an LLC (Limited Liability Company). A Shareholder Agreement is used for a C-Corp or a UK LTD (Corporation). Both serve the same purpose: outlining who owns the business, how decisions are made, and what happens if someone leaves.
What is a SAFE Note?
A SAFE (Simple Agreement for Future Equity) is a legally binding document used by startups to raise money quickly. Instead of valuing the company today, the investor gives you cash now, and that cash converts into shares during your next funding round.
Do you include Vesting Schedules in the founder agreements?
Yes. I highly recommend and include vesting schedules (usually a 4-year vest with a 1-year cliff) to ensure that if a co-founder quits early, they cannot take half the company's equity with them.
