+title: Proposal: Founder Equity Vesting Smart Contract Template
+---
+
+Problem
+
+In early-stage startups, equity is typically assigned at formation but disputes frequently arise when a founder leaves early. Common protective vesting rules include:
+
+- 4-year vesting duration
+- 1-year cliff period
+- Monthly equity unlocking
+- Exit-based equity adjustments
+
+Currently the Accord Template Library lacks a template to model time-based founder equity vesting and exit conditions. This is a gap in the startup governance domain.
+
+Proposed Template
+
+Add a Founder Equity Vesting smart contract template that can:
+
+- Model vesting schedules (duration, cliff, periodic release)
+- Enforce cliff period conditions (no vesting until cliff)
+- Calculate vested vs unvested equity at any point in time
+- Handle early-exit scenarios and compute recoverable/unvested equity
+
+Supporting Work
+
+I created a working simulation repository that demonstrates the core logic and scenarios:
+
+- https://github.com/Shashidar123/founder-equity-vesting-contract.git
+
+That repository includes a 4-year model, a 1-year cliff, monthly vesting calculations, and sample exit scenarios. It can be translated into an Accord-compatible template by producing:
+
+- a Concerto model describing participants, allocations, and events
+- a TemplateMark clause (human-readable contract text) parametrized by schedule and allocation
+- Ergo logic implementing the vesting math and exit resolution
+
+Why This Matters
+
+This template adds startup governance and founder agreements to the Accord Template Library — a widely applicable use case for early-stage companies and accelerators. It also demonstrates modeling of time-based financial workflows in Accord.
+
+Future Scope
+
+Related templates that extend this direction:
+
+- Internship Stipend Contract (performance- and time-based payment logic)
+- Fee Refund Policy Contract (time-based refund rules for education/bootcamps)
