Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Co-Founder Agreement, and why do we need one?
A Co-Founder Agreement is a legally binding contract between the founders of a startup. It outlines ownership percentages, roles, responsibilities, and dispute resolution mechanics. It is vital because it protects the company’s equity and assets from internal conflicts before significant capital or time is invested.
How should we split equity among co-founders?
There is no one-size-fits-all formula. While an even split is common, many startups choose to divide equity based on what each person brings to the table, including their initial capital contributions, unique intellectual property or technology, and time commitments like full-time versus part-time dedication. A founder’s past industry experience and business network are also heavily factored in to ensure the final percentages fairly reflect everyone’s value.
What is a "Vesting Schedule" and why is it important?
A vesting schedule means founders don’t own their entire equity share on day one; they earn it over time. A standard setup is a 4-year vesting schedule with a 1-year cliff. This means if a co-founder quits or is fired within the first year, they leave with 0% equity. This prevents an early-departing partner from walking away with a massive chunk of your company.
Who owns the Intellectual Property (IP) created by the founders?
By default, IP belongs to the individual creator. A proper Co-Founder Agreement includes a strict IP Assignment Clause. This ensures all code, designs, business plans, and patents created for the startup are legally transferred to and owned by the company itself, which is crucial for securing future investor funding.
