Who we are

Legal Documents for Founders, Built by a Founder

The Founder Form was created as a by a practicing business attorney who has spent years advising startups, creatives, and small business owners through every stage of growth — from entity formation and hiring to fundraising, acquisitions, and exits. Along the way, one thing became clear: most founders don’t need a law firm to draft their first operating agreement, offer letter, or arbitration clause. But they do need better templates than what they can find in a Google search.

Built with founders in mind, The Founder Form is here to bridge the gap between hiring a law firm and going it alone. Whether you're just getting started or refining your foundation, we want to help you build your business with confidence — one clean, enforceable agreement at a time.

This website was developed as a passion project with the help of the founder’s two sons — combining entrepreneurial experience with modern tools like artificial intelligence to collaboratively build every part of the platform.

That’s where The Founder Form comes in.

We offer clean, attorney-drafted legal templates designed specifically for startup founders, solo entrepreneurs, and small teams. Each template is built from experience — not theory — and refined to be clear, useful, and practical from day one.

What Makes Our Templates Different?

  • Attorney-Drafted: Every document is written and vetted by a licensed business attorney, not AI or crowd-sourced templates.

  • California-Compliant: Designed with California law in mind, but written for practical flexibility in other jurisdictions too.

  • Startup-Focused: Whether you’re forming an LLC, hiring your first team member, or onboarding a consultant, we’ve done this before — and we’ve built templates to match real startup needs.

  • Editable & Modular: Delivered in Word and PDF formats, with clear instructions and optional “Attorney Notes” to help you adapt each doc for your situation.
