GOOD TO KNOW

Questions, answered.

Is the founder working agreement legally binding?

The downloaded material is a discussion draft, not a ready-to-sign agreement. Counsel should turn agreed commercial points into the correct company approvals and legal documents.

Does it include founder equity calculations?

Use the separate free Cofounder Equity Split & Vesting Calculator for contribution scoring, vesting, dilution, and executive coverage.

Can an established small business use it?

Yes. The vendor, contractor, decision-rights, security, and company-record templates can help an existing business formalize informal processes after appropriate review.
