Open Source Legal Structure
A practical starting point for cofounder alignment.
The Awake Cofounder Agreement is a template founders can adapt when they are clarifying roles, ownership, contribution expectations, and the path from early collaboration into a formal company.
This document is provided as an open-source template for founders and communities who want a clearer starting point. It is not legal advice, and it is not a substitute for counsel familiar with your company, jurisdiction, tax situation, securities obligations, and incorporation plans.
The template is intentionally editable. Treat it the way founders treat SAFE-style documents: useful shared infrastructure, but still something to review carefully before signing.
