Foundation

Before you build the company,
agree on it.

Foundation is the commitment-and-lock layer. Roles, contributions, equity, and revenue rules — agreed in one place so everything downstream runs cleanly.

The trust barrier

“Once money flowed, the deal got renegotiated.”

Handshake deals and email agreements broke down the moment revenue actually arrived. Whoever delivered early got squeezed later. Experts had to stay engaged just to defend their share. That's the barrier Foundation removes — by locking every term, signed and hashed, before a single dollar moves.

Disputes
$14,500

Average legal cost when a partnership breaks down — plus 4.2 months of lost productivity. Foundation kills this category of cost by locking the deal before formation.

Visibility
3 in 4

Silent partners report being “never” or “rarely” updated on company financial state. Foundation makes ownership and rules visible from day one — so partnerships don't decay in the dark.

The Problem

Most Partnerships Fail.
Here’s Why.

0%

Equity disputes within 18 months

Studies suggest a majority of partnerships hit equity disputes within 18 months. Partners shake hands on vague terms — six months later, nobody agrees on who owns what.

0 in 4

No written agreements at formation

The operating agreement gets 'dealt with later.' Later never comes — until there's a lawsuit.

$0K+

Average cost to unwind a partnership

Lawyers, mediators, lost revenue, damaged relationships. Prevention costs a fraction of the cure.

Without Foundation

  • Handshake agreements
  • Vague equity promises
  • No exit plan discussed
  • Revenue splits 'figured out later'
  • One founder does everything

With Foundation

  • Written, signed commitments
  • Visual equity with vesting
  • Exit timelines agreed upfront
  • Automated waterfall splits
  • Roles and contributions documented
