Most co-founder teams operate on a handshake until a dispute, an exit event, or an outside investor surfaces the lack of formal agreements. By then the conflicting expectations are already entrenched — vesting clocks weren't started, IP wasn't assigned, equity ratios were never papered, the departing founder still owns 33% of the company.
Founders' Package generates the four-to-five-document scaffold that turns 'we agreed on X' into enforceable instruments. It is mode-aware: if you already have a services contract in place (with your accountant, your law firm, or a co-founder you're bringing in mid-flight), it produces a surgical Addendum that modifies only the relevant articles instead of replacing the whole agreement.
All tiers include four-year vesting baked in by default. Upgrade for the full scaffolding around it.

Just the services contract (base or addendum). The minimum to formalize what was previously verbal.
From US$99 one-time
3 documents
Adds a stand-alone vesting agreement and a mutual NDA. The right tier when there's real money or strategic value at stake.
From US$199 one-time

The full founder scaffold. Adds IP assignment (separate from the services contract), and a side letter capturing handshake expectations that don't fit the main agreements.
If you already have a services contract in place, Founders' Package will MODIFY it instead of REPLACING it. This is the difference between paperwork that helps and paperwork that creates a fight.
No existing contract between the parties. The generator produces a comprehensive services agreement from scratch, with 4-year vesting + IP assignment + confidentiality + standard exits baked in. Use this when the relationship is forming now.
There's an existing services contract you want to preserve (it has tax-treatment specifics, third-party references, or relationship history). The generator produces an Addendum that modifies only the relevant articles — typically scope (1.II), compensation/vesting (5.II/III), and IP/termination (7) — leaving the original instrument otherwise intact.
Every document is a draft for review by licensed counsel. Each ships with explicit citations to the Civil Code, the Labor Code, and the applicable IP framework.
Defines the relationship: scope of services, compensation, deliverables, term, termination triggers, and vesting schedule. Base mode produces a full agreement; Addendum mode produces a surgical modification.
Stand-alone four-year vesting schedule with one-year cliff, monthly accrual after, acceleration triggers (good leaver, change of control), and clawback for IP violations. More enforceable than vesting embedded inside a services contract.
Covers pre-existing IP (excluded except as listed in an annex), work-product IP (assigned to the company), and post-termination obligations. Civil-law jurisdiction-aware — different mechanics than US-style assignments.
Mutual confidentiality + non-circumvention. Three-year survival after termination, narrow definition of confidential information (no automatic catch-all), and standard injunctive-relief provision.

Every document is anchored in the jurisdictional reality of where the founders operate — by default, Dominican Republic civil law.
Sign in to start free with the Quick tier (services contract or addendum). Upgrade in-flow to Standard or Complete to add the vesting / IP / NDA / side-letter scaffolding.
Drafts are technical work product for review by licensed counsel. Founders' Package is calibrated for Dominican civil-law jurisdictions; cross-border or foreign-law variants should be reviewed by counsel in the target jurisdiction.
