Founder pathway
You keep the majority. You earn it by staying.
The pathway is application, a validation that is allowed to stop, incorporation only if the thesis survives, then a build in which founders vest to 50% in year one and 100% at month 48.
The sequence
Apply with a problem and a point of view. If it belongs in a theme, we try to break it. If it survives, counsel drafts the company. The studio's 20% is protected against internal dilution for 48 months, then it is an ordinary share. Leaving in the launch window has consequences that are written down, not improvised.
