I am the CEO of a venture-backed Delaware C-Corp.
A co-founder relationship has recently broken down. No signed founder agreement exists. No equity has been issued to the other party. We need to move forward cleanly.
I have a critical investor call tomorrow morning to update them about this and need immediate, focused preparation.
This is not a broad legal research assignment. It is a narrow, time-sensitive engagement focused on clarity and defensibility for an investor conversation.
