Startup Bro 1: “We trust each other, we don’t need paperwork.”
Startup Bro 2 (after 6 months): “Bro, you took the idea and left?”
Us: “See, this is why we say... get it in writing BEFORE the fight.” πŸ₯²πŸ‘Š


πŸ“‘ Why a Co-Founder Agreement is Your Startup's Prenup!

Before the pitch decks, product launches, and press releases…
You need to define:
Equity Split – Who owns how much, and why
Roles & Responsibilities – CTO ≠ Coffee Making Officer
Exit Clauses – What happens if someone leaves?
IP Ownership – Who owns the code, logo, content?
Non-Compete & Confidentiality – Protect your hustle!

πŸ“Œ What Happens Without It?
❌ Co-founder disappears with the app
❌ Revenue split confusion turns ugly
❌ New investor demands clarity, and you’ve got vibes instead of docs
❌ Legal battles over the name YOU coined

Fun fact: 65% of startup breakups in India stem from unclear founder arrangements. Don’t be that case study. πŸ˜¬πŸ’”

πŸ˜‚ Real Story We’ll Never Forget:
A founder actually wrote their agreement on a tissue paper at Starbucks.
Two years later… court battle.
The tissue didn’t hold up in court. (Shocking, right?) πŸ˜…πŸ“„☕️


πŸ“˜ Pro Tip:
If you’d sign a lease with your landlord, why not an agreement with the person who’s building your dream with you?
