STARTUP FOUNDATION

Build the company’s records before growth tests them.

A startup foundation is the connected set of ownership records, founder arrangements, approvals, contracts and operating documents that show how the company actually works.

What startup foundation support means

Registering a company is only the beginning. The company also needs reliable evidence of who owns it, who can make decisions, who owns the intellectual property, and what has been agreed with founders, employees, customers and vendors.

Koda helps organise these questions, identify missing information and coordinate the legal, tax or secretarial work that must be completed by appropriately qualified professionals.

You may need this when

  • You are starting a company with one or more co-founders.
  • The company was incorporated quickly and its records have never been reviewed together.
  • You are about to hire senior employees, sign major customers or approach investors.
  • Important agreements exist only in email or several conflicting versions.

What Koda coordinates

  • A map of founders, ownership, responsibilities and decision rights.
  • A review of core company, contract and intellectual-property records.
  • A priority list separating urgent gaps from improvements that can wait.
  • Professional preparation, review or filing where regulated work is required.
Example

Two founders incorporate a company and begin selling immediately. Six months later, an investor asks who owns the software, whether founder equity can vest, and where the signed customer agreements are stored. Foundation work organises those questions before diligence begins.
