Mihir and Adarsh (Not the real names) started a company in 2017. They were close friends. Given their compatibility and bonding, they did not feel the need to have a founder's agreement. They had a 50-50% share.

A year after starting, Mihir felt the business is not generating enough money. So, he stopped working for the business. Adarsh who believed in the business, kept working hard.

Adarsh started feeling that he alone is doing all the work. At the same time Mihir was getting share of profits without even giving time for his part of work.

They started having conflicts which later dragged them to court. The court asked for the vesting schedule. They didn't have any.

The fued turned ugly. And their company soon went bankrupt because of eroded goodwill in Market and internal fights.

What could have been a successful startup, ended in ashes. Just a founder agreement could have saved all the trouble.

What if they had a Founder's Agreement?

The Founder's Agreement would have defined the rights and obligations of all partners. Also defining the minimum years a partner is supposed to work to get his full share. It would have served it's purpose that is protecting the founder's interest.

Also, it would have set up a structure for how money will be shared and how decisions will be made.
