FounderPact

FounderPact · a private instrument for two or more people about to build together

Know where
you stand.
Then build.

You each answer alone. An AI mediator compares both sides in confidence. Only the alignment is ever revealed.

0% aligned · move your cursor. The overlap is the only thing either side ever sees.
Clause 01 · The unsaid

Most partnerships don’t break over the work.

They break over the things nobody said out loud.

Money. Equity. Time. Who decides. Who leaves.

said out loud, on purpose, before it costs you the friendship

Clause 02 · The method
i.

Private interviews

You each talk to the mediator alone. Positions, floors, and how much each one matters. The honest version, not the polite one.

ii.

Blind comparison

The mediator maps both sides and shows where you're aligned, where you're apart, and how far. Nobody's numbers cross the table.

iii.

The pact

A plain-language memo of what you agree on, what's open, and when it gets revisited. A living agreement, not a contract.

You in confidence
Them in confidence
Aligned · what this is
Aligned · who decides
Gap · cash timing
Apart · upside split
The Watch­tower Pact
reopens at first revenue
Clause 03 · The rehearsal

The 60-second pact.

Five questions about a partnership that doesn’t exist yet. Jordan, your imaginary cofounder, has already answered. Privately.

Clause 04 · The wall

Your positions stay yours.

The mediator is the only one who sees both sides. It reveals where you stand and how far apart you are. Never a number, a floor, or a reason. You don’t negotiate face to face until you know where you stand. The relationship survives the negotiation.

Clause 05 · Amendments

A pact that updates when life does.

You don’t have to solve everything on day one. You agree on what’s decidable, and the pact names the moments that reopen the rest.

The pact comes first.

Private pilots, by invitation. Bring the people you’re about to build with.
