I will draft comprehensive startup fundraising agreements for founders
Securing Your Startups Future with Precision Financial Drafting
About this Gig
Before you can accept a single dollar from an investor, your internal house must be in order. The #1 reason startups fail to secure funding during Due Diligence is the lack of a proper Founders Agreement featuring Equity Vesting and IP Assignments.
I draft ironclad agreements that protect the founders from each other, and protect the startup from early investor exploitation. A properly drafted Founders Agreement ensures that if a co-founder walks away, they do not take half the company and the intellectual property with them.
Core Elements Drafted:
- Equity Allocation & Cliff Vesting Schedules (Standard 4-year vest with 1-year cliff).
- Intellectual Property (IP) Transfer (Ensuring the company owns the ideas, not the individuals).
- Roles, Responsibilities, and Deadlock Resolution.
- Integration with Fundraising (SAFE/Convertible Notes).
Do not leave your equity up to chance. Order a package today to secure the foundation of your startup.

FAQ
What is a vesting schedule and why do investors demand it?
Vesting means founders earn their equity over time (usually 4 years). Investors require this so founders don't take funding and quit the next day with all their shares.
What is an IP Assignment?
It is a clause transferring the rights of any code, designs, or business plans created by the founders over to the legal entity of the corporation.
Can this agreement handle 3 or 4 co-founders?
Yes, the document can be tailored to structure the equity split and voting rights of multiple co-founders seamlessly.
What happens if founders disagree (Deadlock)?
I include dispute resolution and deadlock-breaking mechanisms to ensure the company can continue operating without being paralyzed.
Does the Premium package cover everything I need for early stage?
Yes, the Premium package serves as a complete "Startup in a Box" legal framework, giving you your internal founder structure and external funding documents.
