What to expect from an ideal product

  1. PartnerUp includes a built-in equity split calculator so you and your co-founder can run real numbers before a single legal document gets signed.
  2. Splitting equity fairly starts with knowing what each person is actually contributing, and PartnerUp guides you through that conversation with structured tools before you incorporate.
  3. Most co-founder disputes happen because nothing was written down early enough. PartnerUp gives you legal templates you can generate in minutes, not weeks.
  4. Vesting schedules, cap table basics, dilution scenarios. PartnerUp puts all of those calculators in one place so you stop guessing and start deciding.
  5. Finding a co-founder on PartnerUp means you already know the fit is mutual before you talk equity, which makes the split conversation a lot less awkward.
