About launchlaw/

launchlaw.ca is a free tool for Canadian founders to structure cofounder negotiations. It walks you through the key terms of a cofounder agreement and generates a non-binding term sheet — a discussion document you can take to a lawyer.

The tool runs entirely in your browser. No data is stored, transmitted, or retained. You fill out the form, generate a PDF, and download it. That's it.

Who operates this?

launchlaw.ca is owned and operated by Webhaller Inc. (webhaller.com).

Co-branded with Wires Law

Wires Law is a corporate law firm for founders and growing companies. John Wires, the author of The Law for Founders, is familiar with this form of non-binding term sheet and can be contacted to discuss implementing the terms and the terms of an engagement agreement to assist with drafting your cofounder agreement.

Any legal work undertaken by Wires Law is subject to entering a formal engagement agreement, Wires Law identifying who the client is (which may be the company, one or more of the cofounders, or another party), and confirming that no conflicts of interest exist.
