minor co-founder, foreign founder, Delaware C-Corp, IP assignment + equity promise — fixed-fee
Worldwide
Delaware C-Corp — Minor Co-Founder Equity, IP Assignment & Parental Consent (Consultation + Document Package) I'm a non-US (Uzbekistan-based) founder forming a Delaware C-Corp (via Stripe Atlas) and need a US/Delaware-licensed startup attorney for a focused, fixed-fee engagement — not long-term representation. Situation: Delaware C-Corp, sole adult founder (me), foreign-domiciled. One technical co-founder who is a minor (under 18) and has already contributed code/IP to the project. I want to grant the minor co-founder equity (~10–12%, 4-year vesting with a 1-year cliff), structured so they are not a direct shareholder until they turn 18, while keeping the cap table clean and investor-ready (future YC/seed). What I need: A short paid consultation (30–60 min): confirm feasibility, flag risks, and recommend the correct structure for the minor + foreign-founder situation. Document drafting/review: IP Assignment (CIIAA) — ensuring the minor's already-written code transfers cleanly to the C-Corp. Parental/guardian consent + ratification/indemnity clause (to address the minor's right to disaffirm under US contract law). Minor co-founder equity/vesting structure (equity promise → issued at 18) + Board Consent. A brief written action plan + any 83(b)/tax flags relevant to a foreign minor. Requirements: US/Delaware licensed (please confirm your bar admission). Experience with startup founder equity/vesting, IP assignment, and ideally minor contributors or parent/guardian consent. Familiarity with Stripe Atlas / Clerky / YC SAFE. Engagement: I'd like to start with the consultation milestone, then proceed to drafting if it's a good fit. Please share a fixed-fee quote and 2–3 relevant examples of similar work. Budget is flexible for the right expert.
