Founder & Equity Pack

Pro

Co-founder disputes are the #1 startup killer. This pack gives you the foundational equity documents: IP assignment (ensuring the company owns what founders built), vesting agreement scaffolds, advisor agreements, and a cap table checklist. Essential for any startup with more than one founder or early advisors.

What's included

Founder IP Assignment
Founder Vesting & Equity Agreement Scaffold
Advisor Agreement with Vesting
Cap Table Checklist

Who it's for

  • Co-founding teams splitting equity for the first time
  • Solo founders bringing on advisors or early contributors
  • Startups that need to formalise IP ownership before fundraising
  • Anyone preparing their cap table for investor due diligence

Common pitfalls without these documents

  • Not assigning founder IP to the company is a deal-breaker for investors — VCs will walk away from unassigned IP
  • Equal 50/50 splits without vesting mean a co-founder can leave after 3 months and keep half the company
  • Advisor agreements without vesting or clear scope lead to dilution without value
  • Messy cap tables delay fundraising — investors need clean records before writing cheques
