A Co-Founders Agreement is a legal document that explains how startup founders will work together, share ownership, and manage the business from the beginning.
It helps avoid future conflicts by clearly defining roles, equity, decision-making, and exit rules before problems arise.
It typically includes equity distribution, founder roles, intellectual property ownership, decision-making rights, vesting terms, and exit conditions.
Equity is divided based on time commitment, capital contribution, responsibilities, skills, and experience brought into the startup.
Vesting means founders earn their equity over time. It ensures long-term commitment and protects the company if a founder leaves early.
The agreement explains how much equity the exiting founder keeps, whether shares can be bought back, and any restrictions after exit.
Usually, all intellectual property created by founders for the business belongs to the company, not individual founders.
The agreement defines voting rights, approval requirements, and how disagreements between founders are resolved.
Yes. Changes can be made, but they usually require approval from all co-founders and should be recorded in writing.
