What is a Founders’ Agreement?

A Founders' Agreement is a legally binding document between co-founders of a startup that defines their roles, responsibilities, equity ownership, decision-making processes, and exit strategies.

It acts as a safeguard against future disputes by clearly outlining how the business will be run, how profits and losses will be distributed, and how conflicts will be resolved.

Without a Founders' Agreement, your startup may face potential conflicts regarding ownership, decision-making, and exits. Disputes can arise over who controls the business or how equity is distributed. This can cause delays or even derail your startup. 

A proper Founders' Agreement minimizes such risks and helps maintain harmony among co-founders.

It is enforceable in a court of law and provides a clear legal framework to resolve disputes, manage equity, and define roles within the company.

A Founder Agreement typically focuses on the rights and roles of the initial founder or business creator, outlining key terms for ownership and business direction. 

In contrast, a Co-Founder Agreement is for multiple founders and goes further by defining partnership dynamics, such as equity division, decision-making, and conflict resolution. 

While a Founder Agreement sets the groundwork, a Co-Founder Agreement helps manage a collaborative team structure with clearly defined roles, responsibilities, and exit strategies.

A Co-Founder Separation Agreement outlines the terms and conditions for a founder's exit from the company. 

It covers aspects like equity buybacks, vesting schedules, and intellectual property rights, ensuring that both the company and the departing founder are protected during the transition. 

This agreement is crucial for preventing disputes and ensuring a smooth exit process.
