FOR STARTUP TEAMS & EARLY-STAGE CO-FOUNDERS

Don't Let A Co-Founder Quit And Keep Half Your Company.

A "handshake deal" is the fastest way to make your startup unfundable. The Legal Trunk Co-Founder Agreement is the ultimate business prenup. It stops "dead equity," secures your Intellectual Property, and forces every founder to actually earn their shares.

Kill "Dead Equity": Legally enforce a 4-year vesting schedule so early quitters walk away with nothing.
Secure the IP: Guarantee the code, branding, and business plan belong to the company, not the individual who created them.
Break 50/50 Deadlocks: Clear tie-breaker protocols so a disagreement doesn't paralyze the business.
VC-Ready: Passes the strictest due diligence checks from US, UK, and African venture funds.

"You did all the work. They kept 40% of the shares."

You and a friend start a tech company. You split the equity 50/50 on Day One because it feels "fair."

You grind for 18 months. You build the MVP. You talk to customers. Your co-founder, however, loses interest and takes a comfortable corporate job. They stop answering your calls.

Then, you finally pitch a Venture Capitalist. They love the product. But when they look at your Cap Table and see that half the company is owned by someone who doesn't even work there?

They walk away immediately.

VCs will not invest in a company with "Dead Equity." Period.

A bad breakup shouldn't destroy your life's work. The Legal Trunk Co-Founder Agreement is the legal mechanism that prevents this exact scenario.

"Say goodbye to your brain fog and a sluggish mind once and for all with Product X!

The 3 Fatal Flaws In "Handshake" Agreements

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit.

The "Hit-and-Run" Trap (Vesting & Cliffs)

The Trap: Giving away equity upfront. A co-founder leaves in month 4, taking a massive chunk of your company with them forever.
Your Leverage: Silicon Valley-standard vesting. They must work for 12 continuous months (the "Cliff") to earn their first batch of shares. If they quit at month 11, the company buys back their unearned shares for pennies. Your cap table stays clean.

The "Pre-Incorporation" Trap (Absolute IP Transfer)

The Trap: Your technical co-founder wrote the core algorithm before the company was legally registered. When you argue, they claim the code is their personal property and hold you hostage.
Your Leverage: A retroactive Intellectual Property sweep. Every line of code, pitch deck, and prototype created before and after the agreement is signed is legally transferred to the company entity.

The "Stalemate" Trap (Dispute Resolution)

The Trap: You have a 50/50 split. You want to pivot; your partner wants to stay the course. Neither has the majority vote. The business freezes.
Your Leverage: Built-in deadlock resolution frameworks. Clear legal mechanisms dictating who holds the ultimate tie-breaker vote for specific domains (e.g., the CEO on business, the CTO on tech) so the company never stops moving forward.

"I finally stopped hoarding my pitch deck."

Rated 5 out of 5

"I used to be terrified that if I shared my app idea with developers or investors, they’d just run off with it. The Legal Trunk NDA didn't just give me legal protection; it gave me the confidence to actually speak up. I sent this to three potential partners last week, and they signed it without blinking. The 'Awkward Conversation Script' was a lifesaver!"

- Lee

"It immediately changed the tone of the meeting."

Rated 5 out of 5

"I’m a creative director, and I hire a lot of freelance designers. I used to just hope they wouldn't use my client's work for their own portfolios. Sending the Legal Trunk NDA before we started work made me look 10x more professional. It signals that I run a serious agency, and it set clear boundaries from Day 1."

- Mr Tony

"Better than paying a lawyer for a draft."

"I needed an NDA fast because a potential vendor was waiting on me. I didn't have the budget or time to wait for a law firm. I downloaded this, filled in the brackets, and had it signed in under 20 minutes. Trust me, this is a game-changer"
