Tech Startup Raises $1.2M After C-Corp Formation

Practice Area

Business Formation & Founders' Agreements

Challenge

Three co-founders were starting a SaaS company but had no formal agreement in place, leading to confusion around equity distribution, roles, and intellectual property ownership.

Approach

We advised the founders on entity selection and helped them incorporate as a Delaware C-Corp for future fundraising flexibility. We drafted a comprehensive Founders’ Agreement, handled initial equity issuance, and implemented a standard vesting schedule with IP assignment provisions.

Result

The company launched with legal clarity and structure, raised a $1.2M seed round six months later, and scaled to a 15-person team with all equity properly accounted for.
