Founders Agreements Done Right

Legal documents can be overwhelming for startups. Lawyers are expensive and you have so much time pressures. It’s hard enough building the next big startup idea, without the added responsibility of trying to manage the multitude of contracts: NDAs, Service Agreements, Founder Agreements, Leases, Term Sheets, Finders Agreements, and much more. You want to do it right, reduce your risk, increase your negotiation power, but how?!
