What Seed Partner Does
About the partners chosen at the seed of a venture — co-founders, first investors, first hires, first customers — and how to choose them well.
The highest-stakes partnership there is: complementary skills, aligned stakes, and the hard talks first.
Equity splits, vesting, and what-if clauses — written while everyone still likes each other.
Why an early investor is a partner, not a wallet — and how to vet one like a co-founder.
Employee one sets the culture more than any handbook — what to optimize for.
Choosing the first customer who shapes the product — and the wrong one who warps it.
When an early partnership strains: renegotiation, mediation, and clean exits.

About

Get matched
Partners respond. Transparent pricing. No surprises.
Anyone whose commitment at the very start materially shapes the venture: a co-founder, a first investor, a first key hire, or a first serious customer.
Unspoken expectations — about effort, money, and control. Agreements written early, including vesting and exit terms, exist precisely to force those conversations.
Almost never. An empty seat costs less than the wrong person in it; vet early partners with the same rigor the stakes imply. For binding agreements, this site is educational — use a qualified attorney.
