Founders Agreement
Diagrams
by waltherdewald
Spelling out who owns what before a startup takes off can save a friendship and a company down the line. This set of 22 founders agreement templates helps co-founders put equity splits, vesting schedules, roles, and intellectual property terms in writing while everyone's still on good terms. Early-stage teams and solo founders bringing on a partner can see exactly which decisions belong in the document.
Each template is editable in Microsoft Word, so you can fill in names, percentages, and terms, then print or export a clean copy to sign. Company law and vesting norms differ by state and situation, so treat these as a starting draft and have a lawyer review anything complex before you sign. Download the version that fits your team and get the conversation on paper.
