A c-corp isn’t a legal company until someone buys shares, so a founder is going to do that the first week. A 5 year vesting schedule seems standard (cliff + 4). They also need to file the 83(b) election with the IRS while those shares are less than a thousand dollars (ex; $500 for 5 million shares). Copy of the filing needs to be part of corp record. IP assignment is also a basic workplace policy (though it’s interesting to look at ZeniMax vs Oculus, as Carmack was public about his efforts to build the VR tech/software while at id software, even on-site). Doubly so for a technical founder. For a lot of VC’s, you just need to be big enough to be purchased by a bigger fish at a high than normal valuation, so I don’t agree with the Delaware incorporation idea. Worse, founders have a way of being the first one shown the door once there are signs of market fit, or demand by VC’s/directors that the company pivot in a direction the founder doesn’t want. A Delaware court system will favor the board members. Not legal advice, but dilution and director seats are a priority long before you get to series c or d funding rounds that might require switching to Delaware, or maybe a decade or more before you IPO. Not a startup killing issue.
