A founders' agreement ("Agreement") is a contract signed by all of a company's co-founders. The Agreement outlines the ownership, rights, obligations, dispute resolution procedures, and other terms that must be agreed to by the company's founders and founders.

What is founders' agreement?

Even before forming an entity, the founders of a corporation should have an agreement in place. Founders' agreements are the result of discussions that should occur early in the development of a firm rather than later in the life of a company.
The purpose of these discussions is to have an open and sincere discussion about the attitudes, anxieties, and aspirations of those participating in the startup in order to reduce the possibility of crippling surprises as the business develops.

Importance of Founders’ Agreement

The agreement serves as a framework for the founders' interaction, outlining how they would share work, vision, finances, and legal matters. Since it establishes the company's equity ownership, it also establishes the organisation, any existing intellectual property, and the founder's voting rights. The agreement will provide as protection against unforeseen events like share transfers, value increases, and secrecy.
