Don’t let your next stock deal kill you.
Stock agreements — whether it’s founder equity, an earn-out, or a partner buy-in — are some of the easiest documents to sign too quickly and the hardest to unwind later. Vesting terms, dilution clauses, and control provisions all read as boilerplate right up until the moment they don’t. Get a real lawyer to read it, not just a friendly one. And read it yourself first, slowly, before you ever get to the signature page.
