Justee's founders agreement review tool analyzes co-founder contracts for equity allocation fairness, vesting schedule appropriateness, intellectual property assignment completeness, and role clarity. The AI identifies risks including premature equity grants without vesting, missing IP assignments, unclear decision-making authority, and inadequate departure provisions. Justee provides suggested revisions based on startup best practices and investor expectations. Founders agreements are contracts between company co-founders that establish equity ownership, vesting schedules, roles, IP assignment, and what happens if a founder leaves. They prevent disputes that destroy startups and ensure investor-readiness. Common issues include equal equity splits that don't reflect contributions, missing vesting schedules, and IP that remains with individual founders.

Justee recently analyzed their founders agreement before incorporating for three co-founders launching an AI startup in San Francisco, CA.
Issue Found: One founder had developed the core algorithm before joining, but the agreement assigned all "related IP" to the company without defining what was pre-existing versus newly created.
Justee Recommendation: We created an IP schedule documenting pre-existing IP with a license to the company, and clarified that only IP developed after formation would be assigned outright.
"Each Founder hereby assigns to the Company all intellectual property related to the Company's business, including all patents, copyrights, trade secrets, and know-how."
"Each Founder assigns to the Company all IP created after the Effective Date specifically for the Company. Pre-Existing IP listed in Schedule A remains Founder property, with a perpetual, royalty-free license granted to the Company for business use."
Why it matters: Blanket IP assignments can capture valuable IP that founders developed before the company existed. Clear delineation protects founder interests while ensuring the company has necessary rights.
