Founding Contributor Letter
Draft template for internal planning. Must be reviewed by a qualified lawyer before signing.
Status
Draft template for internal planning. Must be reviewed by a qualified lawyer before signing.
Intent
The founding contributor letter should explain:
- role and scope;
- expected contribution cadence;
- clean-room IP rules;
- review and acceptance process;
- possible future incentive path;
- no salary, equity, visa, tax, or employment promise unless explicitly documented in a reviewed agreement.
Suggested Tone
Warm, ambitious, but precise. The letter should give dignity to early contribution without creating accidental employment or ownership claims.
