I am starting a software business and I am not entirely sure how to proceed with incorporation and drafting an operating agreement.
I have one co-founder and we’ve been working together for a few months validating our product with our target market but have not started building. We are ready to start building but we’d like to have a business entity set up with a business bank account so that everything can stay organized under the business.
We’re not sure where to start or who to work with. I’ve found some start-up attorneys through Google searches and have considered options like Stripe Atlas and Clerky but I’m not sure how important it is to have a lawyer handle everything vs. an automated “service”.
Does anyone have experience finding the right attorney to work with or using a service like Stripe Atlas?
Make sure you hire a lawyer who understands the Slicing Pie model for fair equity splits. Stripe and Clerky don’t use Slicing Pie and without it your equity split won’t be fair. There is a list of lawyers on the slicingpie.com site: https://slicingpie.com/slicing-pie-contracts-and-lawyers/
