New co-founder agreementBetaChange document
FD

A co-founder agreement, from our lawyers’ own master.

Answer twenty-five plain-English questions — who decides, how the shares are split and vest, what happens if someone stops pulling their weight or leaves — and FD AI puts together a co-founder agreement from Founders Doc’s master.

It is written for a Singapore company, incorporated or not yet. It takes about 15 minutes, and anything you skip takes the usual answer.

This tool helps you prepare a draft co-founder agreement. It is not legal advice. We recommend having a lawyer check it before it is signed.
