FounderPact

FounderPact · an instrument for two or more people about to build together

Build Consensus
Before Building
Together.

You each do a video interview with Solomon, our AI mediator, named for history's fairest judge. Money, equity, IP, time commitment, and how you actually work. First, your own Position Report, where you stand on every axis. When you're both done, one shared Alignment Report puts both sets of expectations on the table. Know where you stand. Then build.

Everything on the table, before anything is on the line.

0% aligned · move your cursor. The overlap is what you build on.
Clause 01 · The unsaid

Most partnerships don’t break over the work.

They break over the things nobody said out loud.

Money. Equity. Time. Who decides. Who leaves.

said out loud, on purpose, before it costs you the friendship

Clause 02 · Our method
i.

Meet Solomon

Your mediator, an AI named for the king who judged by understanding what each side actually wanted. A video interview, about 30 minutes, on your own schedule. Equity, money, IP, time, and how you work when it gets hard. The honest version, not the polite one.

ii.

Your Position Report

Your own expectations, mapped across every axis, plus a read on your working style. You see where you stand before anyone else is in the room.

iii.

The Alignment Report

When you're both done, every axis gets one of four verdicts. Where there's a gap, Solomon proposes terms until you both accept. A hard conflict gets a real conversation, not an algorithm.

You your position
Them their position
Solomon
Aligned · who decides
Directionally aligned · the split
Negotiable gap · cash timing
Hard conflict · upside

Clause 03 · The rehearsal

The 60-second pact.

Five questions about a partnership that doesn’t exist yet. Jordan, your imaginary cofounder, has already answered.

Clause 04 · The verdicts

Every axis gets a verdict.

When you’ve both finished, Solomon puts every axis in one of four columns. Find alignment fast, or find out early that you’re not aligned. Both are wins.

No. i.Alignedyou already agree, it goes straight into the pactagreed
No. ii.Directionally alignedsame direction, different numbers. Solomon suggests the middle, or the industry standardbridged
No. iii.Negotiable gapyou each rank what matters most, Solomon proposes a package, a few rounds until you both say yesproposed
No. iv.Hard conflictnot arbitrated. Solomon frames it for the conversation you need to have. Finding it now, not at the cap table, is the product workingout loud
“By the time you talk terms, you’ve both seen the whole map. The relationship survives the negotiation.”
Solomon
Clause 05 · Amendments

A pact that updates when life does.

You don’t have to solve everything on day one. You agree on what’s decidable, and the pact names the moments that reopen the rest.

No. i.First dollar of revenueupside terms come back to the tablereopened
No. ii.Someone goes full-timecommitment terms come back to the tablereopened
No. iii.Real money arrivesownership terms come back to the tablereopened
No. iv.An offer to acquireeverything comes back to the tablereopened

The pact comes first.
