FinePrint Solutions Start your company
Start your company with the founder paperwork in order
A legal team on day one. Legal AI Counsel (FinePrint Counsel) prepares the formation filing, founder stock agreements, IP assignments and 83(b) elections, and keeps them in your Legal Room. Lawyers supervise the work.
Formation steps depend on each other
Forming a company is a chain of steps. You choose the entity and the state. You file the formation documents, adopt bylaws or an operating agreement, and appoint the first directors and officers. Then the founders buy their stock, assign what they have built to the company, and file their 83(b) elections before the deadline.
A missing IP assignment or a late 83(b) election usually surfaces when an investor asks for the documents. By then it is harder to fix.
How FinePrint Counsel forms the company
You tell FinePrint Counsel what you are building, who the founders are, how you plan to split ownership and where you will operate, in plain English.
It shows the plan and what it will cost before it starts. Government filing fees are billed separately, and you approve them first.
It recommends the entity and the state, explains why, and prepares the formation filing, the bylaws or operating agreement and the first board consents.
It prepares the founder stock purchase agreements, the IP assignments and the 83(b) elections, and tracks the filing deadline.
When you are ready, it prepares your first contractor, advisor and customer agreements from the same record.
What a lawyer reviews at formation
Legal work follows a process lawyers approved and sample-check. Work that needs additional legal judgment waits for review by a lawyer or an approved legal professional.
At formation, that can include an unusual ownership split, a founder bringing IP from a previous employer, a founder living outside the United States, or a professional or nonprofit entity. You see the lawyer's decision and the reason in the task. Who owns what, who sits on the board and what the company does stay your decisions.
Your Legal Room starts on day one
The formation filings, board consents, stock agreements, IP assignments and 83(b) elections are saved in your Legal Room with the decisions you approved. When you hire, sign a customer or raise money, your Legal AI Team reads the Legal Room first. If you leave, you can export the record.
