Founders Agreements
A great startup begins with a great idea—but it survives only with a strong Founders Agreement. When multiple founders come together, clarity on roles, equity, responsibilities, ownership, exit rights, and decision-making becomes essential. A Founders Agreement acts as the legal backbone of any startup, preventing misunderstandings and protecting the business as it grows. At Aarthika Globcorp, we help founders create agreements that are clear, future-proof, and investor-friendly, ensuring your startup scales smoothly without internal conflicts. Whether you’re just forming your company or preparing for funding, a legally sound Founders Agreement keeps everyone aligned and protected.
