Founder Folio

A working folio for founders.

Frameworks, checklists, and short playbooks for the legal and governance decisions founders actually face, from incorporation to first close, from first hire to first acquisition.

Incorporation & structure

Choosing the right entity, founder splits, vesting, and IP assignment from day one.

Cap table & fundraising

SAFEs, priced rounds, side letters, and the clauses worth negotiating before the term sheet.

Hiring & equity

Employee vs contractor, ESOP design, offer letters, and what to document for every hire.

Commercial contracts

MSAs, SOWs, NDAs, and the three knobs that matter in every SaaS deal.

Governance & compliance

Board hygiene, statutory filings, and treating compliance like a product, not a fire drill.

Exits & secondaries

What founders should track years before a liquidity event, and what to refuse along the way.
